The theft from the school’s financial aid office happened over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The computer contained federal student-aid applications for the 2005-06 and 2006-07 academic years.
The university sent letters to affected and prospective students, advising them how to avoid potential identity theft.
