Purdue University is informing 175 people who were students in fall 2001
that a Web page containing information about them was inadvertently
available on the Internet.

The page, which was no longer in use but was on a computer server
connected to the Internet, contained names and Social Security numbers of
students who were enrolled in a freshman engineering honors course and
were scheduling to meet with advisers. Although forgotten, the page had

removed the page from their indexes and cache. Letters are in the mail to
those potentially affected.
