College Alcohol Parental Notification Policies. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2008, Pages: 152
Under changes to the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA) colleges were granted permission,
but were not required, to notify parents whose
students violated alcohol policies. This was intended
to be a new solution to an old problem. But what
determines which colleges choose to notify parents
and which do not?
This policy studied investigated a variety of
predictors of parental notification policy and
practice for alcohol violations including
institutional factors and beliefs. Looking through
the lenses of institutions of higher education,
parents, and students we can begin to understand the
relationship between these three entities and why a
college or university would choose to notify parents.
This examination of policy formation is especially
useful for senior student affairs administrators,
practitioners working with student conduct and legal
issues, as well as those charged with addressing
alcohol abuse on campus. The focus on relationships
between colleges, students, and parents will be of
interest to anyone working with college students.
