Recent social media trends suggest student loan borrowers should file FERPA complaints to erase debts due to alleged unauthorized access of their data by Elon Musk and DOGE. However, legal expert Jay Fleischman points out on TikTok that FERPA, which protects student privacy, does not grant individuals the right to sue for violations. Meanwhile, the University of California Students Association has initiated legal action against DOGE's access to student financial data, prompting Democratic senators to investigate as well.
"FERPA is short for the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act, which prevents your student information from being disclosed to third parties."
"There is no private right of action, no right for an individual to sue for violations of FERPA."
