The concern that was associated with the query was that people use the physical ID to store "College Bucks" for dinning use and that somehow that could be compromised. It is also the username credial for many college system but so it your name. You can't access or change information with just your College ID number.

Does the ID number allow you to do anything? For example, can I call the help desk and get my password reset by using the ID number? *From:* The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] *On Behalf Of *Roy Galang *Sent:* Thursday, November 7, 2013 7:58 AM *To:* SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU *Subject:* [SECURITY] a question about having College ID number as part of directory information HI All, This may have been addressed before but I am being asked if providing a college ID number on our LDAP and other directory services is a security risk. I’m feeling that it isn’t but I’m press to put a statement behind it that will put people at ease.
