LEGAL NOTICES
FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT
Instructors are reminded that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 requires that the University treat student records in a confidential manner. Student records include examinations and papers submitted by students. Faculty who plan on distributing grades, papers, and exams through departmental mailboxes or in hallways or plan to post grades on a Web site must first have the permission of their students or be prepared to distribute such papers in ways that safeguard the students’ personal information.
POSSIBLE RULE MAKING
Preproposal Statement of Inquiry (per RCW 34.05.310)
Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 478–116–131 “Parking for Events and Other University Functions.”
Statutes Authorizing the University to Adopt Rules on This Subject: RCW
28B.10.560 and 28B.20.130.
Reasons Why Rules on This Subject May Be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The proposed parking regulation amendment is necessary to reflect a change from not charging parking fees for the University of Washington’s commencement events to charging attendees for parking as a pre-paid special event. Previously, the university’s commencement budget covered the costs associated with managing the parking and transportation system for commencement. However, increasing costs and constrained resources have necessitated generating revenue from parking to cover costs associated with parking and traffic management, including staffing, printing, a shuttle bus system, and costs associated with traffic police.
Other Federal and State Agencies That Regulate This Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule With These Agencies: None.
Process for Developing New Rule: Agency study.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by sending written comments or inquiries to Rebecca Goodwin Deardorff, Director, Administrative Procedures Office, by one of the following routes: US mail, University of Washington, 4014 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105–6203; Campus mail, Box 355509; e-mail, adminpro@u.washington.edu; Fax, 206–616–6294.
