Term: FERPA

Definition: FERPA stands for Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It is a law that protects the privacy of students' educational records.

Example: Let's say you are a college student and you want to see your grades from last semester. FERPA gives you the right to access your own educational records, but it also protects your privacy by not allowing anyone else to see them without your permission.

It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
