Ferpidiot

Higher ed. bureaucrat who uses FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) as an excuse not to release information. The individual (typically in Financial Aid) has really no clue as to what information is and isn't protected by FERPA so they assume everything is confidential and cannot be released. Ferpidiots rely on others fear and cluelessness of FERPA to escape performing any tasks that might contribute to the functionality of the institution and the accountability of their departments.

The Registrar's Office at the University of Mordor was crawling with ferpidiots who refused to give Frodo the information needed to verify Samwise's enrollment status.

FERPA

Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act. 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.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records, until the student is 18 or reaches a university.

The Purdue Queer Student Union painted a mural of the wrestling team on the window of a West Lafayette business for Homecoming week. The wrestlers became offended, and a few removed the mural from the window. The PQSU facilitated in the punishment of the wrestlers, but were unable to learn their names thatnks to FERPA.

FERPA FACE

The glazed over look a graduate student gets from sitting in a FERPA training session. FERPA FACE may be transmitted to professors as well.

Hilary tried to concentrate on the Trojan virus lecture, but it was obvious from her FERPA FACE that she may scream from the stupidness of it all.

Ferpes

The disease one gets from wearing bowling shoes without socks.

Jamie developed a bad case of ferpes Saturday night when she threw caution to the wind. She carelessly neglected the needed barrier between her feet and the biological bedlam that was her size fives
