I was fired for cheating.

<p>The only paper that I signed was giving the university permission to share my GRADES with my employer. I was even told by university staff that it was completely voluntary and NOTHING ELSE concerning my attendance there could be disclosed to anybody. </p>

<p>The federal law (FERPA) from what I understand is supposed to protect me from things like this. Because, if the school hadn’t disclosed the possible infraction to my employer they would have never known. At the time the university disclosed the information to my employer, I had not even been officially charged with misconduct by the school. </p>

<p>I don’t see how they could possibly be covered in their actions if I understand what I have read pertaining to FERPA.</p>
