FERPA – Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
LeRoy Rooker Joins AACRAO as Senior Fellow and Consultant
AACRAO is pleased to announce that LeRoy Rooker has joined the Association as a Senior Fellow and AACRAO Consultant. Mr. Rooker is the nation’s leading authority on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a comprehensive federal law that provides privacy protections for student education records. As the director of the Department of Education’s Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) for 21 years, he administered laws and policies designed to help protect the rights of America’s 58 million students.
Mr. Rooker is well known to the AACRAO membership because of his extensive outreach to the higher education community while at the Department of Education. His many appearances at AACRAO meetings were not to be missed sessions and we are honored that he will continue to share his expertise through AACRAO Consulting. In his new role, LeRoy will offer compliance training, FERPA audits, and other FERPA-related services.
