Abstract
Bowling Green State University is alerting student that their personal information was contained on a flash drive that has been lost. The drive, belonging to accounting professor W. David Albrecht, contained the names and Social Security numbers of 199 students that took Mr. Albrecht’s classes in 1992. Bowling Green phased out the use of Social Security number in 1992, but is alerting all of Albrecht’s 1,800 students since 1992 as a precaution.
