9. Yale said nothing - at first.

The registrar of undergraduate transcripts in the economic dept is the one who should have responded to me. But didn't. Repeatedly. Then, the university registrar responded and said basically: Yes, we are under FERPA, but we have ADDITIOAL RESTRICTIONS. Well, I know that FERPA does say schools under FERPA can have additional restrictions, but, my main point is this: those additional restrictions apply to LIVING PEOPLE and LIVING ALUMNI. Yale can not extend their "additional restrictions" to: DECEASED PEOPLE as DECEASED people have no such rights.
