Abstract
On November 27, Clark College began notifying students a number of documents found in a trash bin off-campus on November 2. The documents were discovered by a C-Train bus driver in a trash bin on East Mill Plain Boulevard. According to Kim Kapp, a police spokeswoman, about 23 student names were identified in the trashed paperwork but Kapp would not say what else was contained on the documents. In a letter to students, Clark President Bob Knight wrote, "At this time, we believe the incident is limited to those (original) students, but, as a precaution, the college is bringing this incident to your attention so that you can be alert to signs of any unauthorized activity." This letter also urged students to closely monitor credit reports for signs of fraudulent activity.
