Have you ever worked in an environment where you were responsible for building systems that complied with FERPA and you worked with your school's general counsel and compliance team on that?

What you are saying about e-mail is simply not factual. Student e-mail is inside the FERPA environment, and is considered private to the student. It was designed to be that way. If a student sets up forwarding to go to someone else, that's their problem. The student e-mail uses the same SSO as the LMS, so it's nonsense to act like someone else could have access to e-mail.
