In a new episode of "Why Don't We Know: Education Records," the Brechner Center for Freedom of Information focuses on increasingly "brazen examples of universities [including UK] using the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as a shield to hide information that might make them look bad." https://whydontweknow.com/2020/11/episode-10-education-records/

Reliance on FERPA in the UK v Kernel case "is even more mind boggling because that case is about professors and staff who are accused of sexual harassment. They don't have FERPA rights. So UK is bending FERPA . . . waving the victim flag."

Universities including UK "default to secrecy" to protect the institution and avoid institutional accountability that might adversely impact admissions and provoke public ire.
