Iran Rejected

American colleges and universities have indicated that they will not comply with a request from the government of Iran for a list of all their Iranian students "with their major fields of study and their addresses, particularly those who will be graduating soon."

A spokesman at the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs said last week that the association knew of no college or university that had complied with the request. Foreign-student advisers often receive similar requests and routinely turn them down, the spokesman added.

The American Council on Education, after consulting with the national association and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, told its members last week that the "Buckley Amendment," officially known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, "specifically bars the release of the information requested."
