    If the interview is a job interview for _your_ benefit, I can't see how 
it would not be illegal under FERPA.  You'd be releasing student-file 
material other than "directory information" to a third party.
    (If it were a parent-teacher conference with the parents of the kid whose 
file you were discussing, you'd be alright.)
