This includes working with third parties in fund raising activities.
IU 51ÁÔÆæ reserves the right to question the legitimacy of any and all information requests. IU 51ÁÔÆæ reserves the right to refuse the request of any department, student organization or other IU 51ÁÔÆæ related organization or group if the need for the information is not found to be valid.
IU 51ÁÔÆæ will take immediate action against any and all parties where information is disclosed to a third party, which is a violation of the FERPA guidelines and of this data request release form. Any affiliated department, student organization or other IU 51ÁÔÆæ related organization or group may also immediately lose their data request rights.
