http://media.www.lsureveille.com/media/storage/paper868/news/2007/05/03/News/Stolen.Laptop.May.Hold.Id.Numbers-2892874.shtml An Information Technology investigation has revealed that a laptop stolen from a faculty member's Baton Rouge home may contain personally identifiable information for about 750 University students. But University officials released a notification letter to potentially affected students April 15 - more than 10 days after receiving news of the theft. The faculty member notified University officials April 4, but officials did not contact LSUPD. The laptop is owned by the E.J. Ourso College of Business, and may have included students' Social Security numbers, full names and grades, according to a notification letter The Daily Reveille obtained Tuesday. The letter was signed by Brian Nichols, chief IT security and police officer, and Robert Sumichrast, dean of the E.J. Ourso College of Business.
