Computerized records on nearly 200,000 people with ties to the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business have 
been accessed without authorization by someone operating from the Far East, the university's president announced today.

The records, which in some cases include Social Security numbers, involve faculty members, current and prospective 
students, staff members, alumni and corporate recruiters, UT President William Powers Jr. said at a hastily called news 
conference this afternoon. He said records on 197,000 people were accessed by one or more people in Asia.
