If we remove ourselves from the academic bubble, you're probably right. But violating FERPA is serious business. I suspect OU's administration has been counseled by their legal team to refrain from sharing the other students' information solely because of FERPA. Does it mean that those students didn't do anything wrong? No. But it DOES mean that the university isn't willing to jeopardize its ability to continue to receive federal funds - among other repercussions - just to name them.
