issue.
We immediately got ahold of the
file to find what was sent out and who
was affected, said Roger Von Holzen,
vice president of information technology. It actually wouldnt have had
much of an effect. If somebody got
into their CatPaws, all they could do is
add or drop a class and pay your bill.
We werent too worried about people
paying bills.
Northwest also blocked access to
the eCompanion sites of those affected and reset their passwords to both
accounts, which students were able
to change after logging in. They were
able to continue using their Bearcat
card until a new card and 919 number
was issued March 12.
The next day, we started working on the long process to generate
new 919 numbers and pins and security questions for those 243 students,
which they picked up on Wednesday,
Provost Doug Dunham said. We notified them along the way to let them
know that we were remedying the
case. (We were) trying to make sure
that we had protected students as best
as we could and mitigated any negative effects, but also make it as easy
for them as possible.
Dunham says employees go
through an annual training on the
system and sign data security forms
before they begin work. Some offices and workers began a retraining
course, and Dunham says that with
help protect student accounts from
further breaches..
This is an opportunity to remind
all students and employees to make
sure you pick a unique, hard to replicate PIN number because that helps
protect your information in the event
that something like this happens,
Dunham said.
A local favorite, The Pub, reopened Monday after the south wall of the building
collapsed Sept. 11, 2011. The Pub is located at 414 N. Main Street.

Student Senate President Cody
Uhing believes these new decrees are
not as dreadful as students have been
inclined to think.
Students need to be informed,
Uhing said. These ordinances are
not as terrible as the gut reaction is. I
think that these ordinances are in line
