From our university's website addressing the latest FERPA policy:
FERPA allows institutions to identify certain types information called
"directory information" that may be disclosed without student consent.
USD has designated the following information as directory information
and will release this information upon request, unless the student has
submitted a Request to Restrict Directory Information [pdf 40 KB] form
to the appropriate Registrar:
student's name
USD e-mail address
major field of study
dates of attendance
participation in officially recognized activities and sports
degrees, honors, and awards received
Thus, it would seem that calling and asking about a degree is
considered directory information and can be disclosed.
