Abstract
Two computers containing student information were discovered to be missing from the University of Colorado at Boulder's Leeds School of Business. These computers were placed in storage last May. The loss was discovered when the Leeds staff removed these computers at the end of August in preparation for the new school year. Social Security numbers, names, and grades were amount the information contained on these laptops. Although the CU-Boulder officials do not believe any personal information has been accessed, the University has notified the 1,372 affected students and setup both a web site and hotline for student that might have questions or concerns over this loss.
