Abstract
Kansas State University's Division of Continuing Education is notifying students that papers stolen from a parked car contained their personal information. The papers, stolen out of a professor's parked car, contained the names and Social Security numbers of 86 students that had taken Res 200 between Fall 2007 and Summer 2008. K-State is in the process of phasing out Social Security numbers and recently implemented a new student system which no longer uses Social Security numbers as student IDs. The university also plans to launch an education and awareness campaign for faculty and staff on protecting student information.
