Students Aren't Getting the Message in Ohio
When a college discovers that its online databases have been broken into, officials typically rush to e-mail students whose personal information may have been exposed. But is anyone really getting the message?
At Ohio University, which has recently experienced a spate of high-profile hackings, many students say they haven't read e-mail warnings about the incidents because they are used to getting unimportant e-mail messages from campus administrators. And other students say they are only dimly aware of the university's recent network-security struggles.
All of which poses a problem for college officials: If they can't reliably reach students by e-mail, how do they get urgent messages across? (The Athens News)
