Students enrolled in distance education classes between January 2002 and January 2005, as well as instructors teaching distance education courses during that same period may have had their social security numbers posted online along with their names. However, UVSC claims that not all students and faculty connected with distance education from that time period had their social security numbers posted online during the six-week period from November to December. Administrators have said they learned of the situation on Dec. 5 and immediately contacted Yahoo administrators so that all sensitive information could be deleted. One week later, all student/faculty sensitive information had been removed. UVSC spokesperson Chris Taylor stated in a release that the school is remaining silent about just how those 15,000 social security numbers got to yahoo in the first place so as not to make any sensitive personal information more susceptible to exploitation. "We don't want to do anything to compound the problem. For us to broadcast the details of how they wera accessed basically puts more people at risk," said Taylor. UVSC Chief Information Officer Ray Walker said in the same statement, "We're very disappointed this incident has occurred, and we want the entire UVSC community to know that we take this incident very seriously and have taken steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again." "Although we have no evidence that the files were accessed for malicious purposes," Walker said, "the affected students and faculty need to be aware of this security breach so they can make their own determination and take necessary See SSC • A3 Fultons raise the stakes Jared Magill Assistant News Editor In response to UVSC exceeding the fundraising goals set by each department for the Fulton Challenge, philanthropists Ira and Mary Lou Fulton pledged to match every single dollar raised instead of only matching the predetermined goals. Last April, the Fultons challenged deans and administrators at the College to establish fundraising goals for their divisions. The Fultons agreed to match the amount of the goal for those that reached their mark by Dec. 31. Alumni, faculty, staff, students and board members were eligible to participate in the fundraising campaign, with the Fultons matching gifts up to $1,000 per donor. Vice President of College Marketing and Advancement Val Hale announced back in early December that all schools and departments had surpassed their goals, which totaled $313,000 collectively and at that time had managed to raise more than $375,000. Consequently, the Fultons agreed to raise the stakes and match the total sum of funds raised by the end of 2006. "Every dean, every department, every student was determined to reach the goal, and they did it. That's a significant accomplishment," Hale said. "Now, thanks to the generosity of the Fultons, the UVSC community has the opportunity to continue doubling donations through the end of the year. We hope those who haven't given yet will take advantage of this newly opened window of opportunity." And take advantage of it they did. In December of 2005, UVSC received a total of 150 donation gifts. However, during the last two weeks of December 2006, UVSC received more than 600 donation gifts which totaled over $100,000 dollars according to Hale. "Ira ended up cutting us a check in amount of $512,000.00," Hale said. "In every respect, people responded and the bottom line is that the college will benefit by more than a million dollars." The Fultons and UVSC administrators have been pleasantly surprised with the success of the fundraisingchallengeinaddition to the spirit of giving that the challenge has spurred. "I've never seen one single act have such an impact in improving the culture of giving on a campus," said President William A. Sederburg. "I've heard many great stories of how Ira and Mary Lou's challenge has inspired people to dig a little deeper to help college students at UVSC." Hale said the college plans to have a special celebration to honor those who contributed and to thank the Fultons for introducing the matching opportunity. The date of the celebration has not yet been determined, but Hale indicated that it will most likely be held sometime in late January or early February. |
