May Dickinson College disclose to a parent, without the students consent, information regarding a students violation of the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance?
Yes, if the student is under the age of 21 at the time of the disclosure. Also, if the student is a “dependent student” as defined in FERPA, the institution may disclose such information, regardless of the age of the student, subject to the institution’s philosophy on such disclosures set forth in the FAQ about “Directory Information” above.
