Abstract
In May, the Liberty Coalition notified California State University, Chico that it discovered an excel file online that contained student information. The file, placed online in 2003 by a Computer Science professor, contained the names, partial Social Security numbers, test scores and lab scores of 30 students. The information appears to be on former students of Jim McElroy. The university quickly removed the file once notified and the file is no longer available through search engine caches.
