What issue did Gonzaga University v. Doe address?

The case of Gonzaga University v. Doe primarily addressed the issue of student rights to educational records. Specifically, it revolved around the interpretation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The core of the case involved a student who claimed that Gonzaga University had improperly disclosed personal information related to their conduct. The Supreme Court ruled that individuals do not have a private right of action under FERPA to sue for money damages when they believe their educational records were mishandled.

The decision clarified the limitations of FERPA regarding student rights and the nature of actions that can be taken against educational institutions concerning the privacy of student educational records. It underscored the importance of understanding how educational institutions handle and disclose information under federal law.

The other options pertain to various academic or disciplinary situations that do not encapsulate the legal focus of this landmark case regarding the privacy of educational records under FERPA.
