Louisiana State University is providing students and faculty and staff members with free daily monitoring of their credit reports and $2,500 in identity-theft insurance under an agreement reached Friday with Equifax Inc.
The yearlong agreement, which the university claims is the first of its kind between a credit agency and a higher-education institution, is designed to protect members of the campus community if their confidential information is compromised and they become victims of identity theft. The university will pay the company $150,000. See The Chronicle’s full coverage.
