Dear Ari Stiegler,
This is to respond to your California Public Records Act request for student information (graduate and undergraduate) including name, email address and class.
The information that you have requested is "personally identifiable information" maintained in "education records," and is therefore prohibited from non-consensual disclosure pursuant to the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act ("FERPA"). (20 U.S.C. 1232g). Consequently, the requested information is exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act ("CPRA"). The CPRA allows the University to withhold records from disclosure where disclosure of the records is exempt or prohibited under federal or state law. (Government Code Section 6254(k)).
While FERPA is the primary reason that the University is unable to provide records responsive to your request, there are other related legal issues to consider. Personally identifiable information about UC students is also prohibited from disclosure pursuant to the California Information Practices Act ("IPA"). (Civil Code Section 1798 et seq.). The IPA prohibits the disclosure of personal information that may be linked to any individual, without the individual's consent, except in very limited circumstances. (Civil Code Section 1798.24). Like the FERPA prohibition, this provision is incorporated into the CPRA through Government Code Section 6254(k).
In addition to FERPA and the IPA, the University also asserts that the requested records are exempt from disclosure pursuant to Government Code Section 6254(c), as constituting an unwarranted invasion of privacy.
At this time, request CPRA 14-1248 has been fulfilled and your file will be closed.
