To Guard 3 Students' Privacy, Georgetown U. Expunges Thousands of E-Mail Messages - SCOTT CARLSON, the Chronicle
Administrators at Georgetown University shut down the university's e-mail system and altered the accounts of thousands of students on Tuesday night to erase a mass e-mail message from the university that contained private student information. The message, which had been inadvertently sent out in a crime report by the university's public-safety department, detailed various incidents on campus and named three students. Juan C. Gonzalez, the university's vice president of student affairs, said that "failures at many levels" let the private information go out in the crime report around 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
