Ohio University said Tuesday it has suspended two information
technology supervisors over recent breaches by hackers who may have
stolen 173,000 Social Security numbers from school computers.

The school did not identify the director of communications network
services identified on the school's Web site as Thomas Reid and manager
of Internet and systems. Both were suspended pending the school's
investigation of the breaches, five of which have happened since March
2005.

A message was left late Tuesday at a home phone listing for Reid.
