The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), enacted in 1974, gives students (and parents of minor students) the right to access, review, and request corrections to their education records. It also prohibits schools from disclosing personally identifiable information from those records to third parties without written consent, with limited exceptions. Federal agencies that collect student-level data from institutions must comply with FERPA's restrictions. Critics of the ACTS data mandate argued that collecting individual-level application data broken down by race and test scores — and sharing it with the Department of Education's enforcement division — created a FERPA conflict, since the data could be used to investigate individual students' admissions files.
