What is SFSU doing about the situation?
The University is working with law enforcement to investigate this data breach and to develop safeguards against similar incidents. All faculty, staff and administrators are mandated to take Employee/Student Information Privacy (ESIP) training before they can access employee or student records. We will contact everyone the week of June 12th to remind them about their responsibilities to ensure that confidential data remain secure and to remind them to delete any Social Security numbers remaining on computer equipment, including PC’s, laptops, PDA’s and computer servers. The University does not use Social Security numbers for student identification. We changed last year to use a unique personal identification number called ‘SFSU ID’ by converting all student records on University servers to the new ID numbers.
