Liability for breach of confidentiality
Sec. 2. This section applies to any student data that are confidential under any law, including the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. 1232(g)). An approved postsecondary educational institution or an association acting on behalf of an approved postsecondary educational institution that provides student data requested under this chapter is not liable for any breach of confidentiality of the information if the breach resulted from the action of the commission or the commission's staff and not from the transmission of the data before the data reached the commission.
