Re: FERPA and Student Computing Accounts

[Joel Rosenblatt <joel () COLUMBIA EDU>]

We have a very strict no password sharing policy - plus our passwords are stored at one way hashes and there is no way 
for us to give the password to anyone -
so I would say that in our case, the answer would be we cannot do it.

But I am curious to hear other answers on this one.

My 2 cents,
