Abstract
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is tightening its information security posture after it was discovered that the Google search engine's Google Cache service had stored a UNL College of Engineering Web page that contained information. This page was used in 2004 by the College of Engineering to track student information contained student names, e-mail address, Social Security numbers and grade point averages. UNL had removed this page from its servers earlier in 2006, but Google Cache had already indexed the page.
