When a Student Drinks Illegally, Should Colleges Call Mom and Dad?
Reisberg, Leo
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n15 pA39-A40 Dec 4 1998

Some institutions fear that sharing disciplinary records with parents violates the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which protects student privacy, but a recent amendment to the Higher Education Act allows colleges to inform parents of such violations.
