Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 444 of the General Education Provisions Act (commonly known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 ), an institution of higher education may, in furtherance of a full and accurate decennial census of population count, provide to the Bureau of the Census information requested by the Bureau for purposes of enumeration for the 2020 decennial census of population. Only information requested on the official 2020 decennial census of population form may be provided to the Bureau of the Census pursuant to this section.
No institution of higher education may provide any information to the Bureau on the immigration or citizenship status of any individual. Before information can be provided to the Bureau, the institution of higher education shall give public notice of the categories of information which it plans to provide and shall allow 10 days after such notice has been given for a student to inform the institution that any or all of the information designated should not be released without the student’s prior consent.
No institution of higher education shall provide the Bureau with the information of any individual who has objected to the provision of such information. Information provided to the Bureau pursuant to this section may only be used for the purposes of enumeration for the 2020 decennial census of population. In this section, the term institution of higher education has the meaning given that term in section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 1002 ). The authority provided in this section shall expire at the conclusion of 2020 census operations.
