Abstract
Hot on the heals of the university's Institute of Technology laptop theft announcement, University of Minnesota officials announce yet another laptop theft. This laptop was stolen from an art department faculty member in June during this individuals trip to Spain. While the laptop contained student information such as names, student IDs and grades, no Social Security numbers were exposed. University officials say that the university is in the process of training faculty and staff on the importance of information security.
