FERPA Clear and Simple: The College Professional’s Guide to Compliance

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) compliance has always been challenging due to complex regulatory language and exposure to risk. However, institutions that do not comply are in jeopardy of losing federal funding. Accessible and user-friendly, FERPA Clear and Simple clarifies the regulations and provides a ready reference for compliance and problem solving. This need-to-have guide offers critical and relevant material (including the 2008 Amendments) from a new perspective to help staff in student affairs, academic departments, and administrative support positions understand and comply with FERPA guidelines.

Article Submission Guidelines

The Department Chair: A Resource for Academic Administrators

Articles should be on topics related to the leadership of an academic department across disciplines and institutions. The focus is on applications, techniques, case studies, or other ideas and information that readers can use in their role as department leaders. We welcome suggestions for new material relevant to department chairs.

Articles should be no more than 1,500 words (about six double-spaced pages).

Articles should be written in clean, sharp prose. Speak to your audience as you would like to be spoken to. Use references only when essential.

Figures and tables may be included as needed.

We encourage the use of bullets, lists and summaries, or other formats that more clearly present the basic points.

We reserve the right to edit for style and length, and to make any final publishing decision.

Send article submissions as email attachments to editor-dch@wiley.com.
