Synopsis of incident from President Whitlock's email to the campus community on Wednesday, September 23, 2009:

I have been notified by the Eastern Kentucky University Computing Emergency Response Team (ECERT) that a file with names and Social Security numbers, along with other directory type information, was inadvertently posted into a directory on September 29, 2008, where it could have conceivably been accessed on the web.  As you will read below, we have no evidence the file was accessed.  This file included 5,045 names of faculty, staff, and student workers who were on the EKU payroll during the 2007-08 academic year.  If you were not an active member of the faculty and staff or a student worker during this period, you are not affected by this email.
