: None of this is relevant to the article. The article is about algorithms for sorting data, not about what should be done with the data. The text also says nothing about publishing the data, so the question of what is legal to publish is entirely irrelevant.

An implicit disclosure may occur when a list consists only of directory information but the list itself by definition reveals non-directory information. For example, a list of names and email addresses of all students who have a particular grade-point average reveals the students' GPAs. Likewise, a class list containing names and email addresses of the students reveals class enrollments. '''Since neither''' grade-point average nor '''class enrollment''' are '''directory items''', releasing these lists without prior consent of the students constitutes a FERPA violation.}}
