The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
“Educational records” are defined, with a few exceptions, as records containing information directly related to a student that are maintained by a school or its agent (including electronic records). In higher education, FERPA prohibits schools from disclosing educational records, or personally identifiable information in those records, other than certain basic directory information, without the student’s prior written consent. The student may even request that directory information be withheld. Some exceptions allowing disclosure of educational records do apply. For further information contact the Office of the University Registrar at registrar@willamette.edu.

Designed for higher education employees by United Educators, the first lesson in this course provides guidance to help identify hazing behaviors; recognize students who may be at risk; and take informed, proactive steps.

Incidences of extreme hot weather and exposure to wildfire smoke have increased in recent years. As a response to these changing conditions, the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) created rules to ensure employee safety under these conditions. In this two-part course, you will learn the heat and wildfire smoke exposure thresholds in which protections must be put into place. You will also learn about health conditions that can arise once these thresholds are reached or exceeded, basic first aid that can be applied, how to respond in the event of a medical emergency, and site-specific remedies that are used to prevent heat and smoke inhalation illnesses.
