The disease is transferred from person to person by bacteria-contaminated droplets formed during a coughing spell; however, the disease may be prevented by vaccinations. Symptoms of whooping cough vary. Early in the infection, the symptoms resemble those of a cold; mild fever, nasal congestion, sneezing, nasal discharge, and a dry cough. However, in contrast to a cold, the symptoms persist and worsen over about one to two weeks.
FERPA was enacted in 1974. As currently constituted, the law is widely regarded as insufficient for addressing the privacy challenges of the digital age.
FERPA is an acronym for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. 1232g, 34 CFR 99). Congress enacted FERPA, also referred to as the Buckley Amendment, in 1974. FERPA mandates that schools, including colleges and universities, maintain students' records in a certain way. Students must be allowed to inspect and review their education records and request the amendment of records that are inaccurate or misleading.
