Deja vu all over again at Binghamton University

Posted on May 1, 2009 by Dissent

Robert Hadad-Zlokower of the Binghamton University Pipe Dream reports:

Binghamton University announced Tuesday that it had let WHRW, the student-run radio station, members off the hook for “gaining access” this March to an unlocked room filled with students’ personal information … a few hours later, it happened again.

While he was walking through an entrance to the ground floor of Library South, WHRW News Director Robert Glass said he saw, in plain sight, a folder full of professors’ Social Security numbers in a dumpster.

But that’s not all.
