Trustees were briefed Monday on a proposal to improve the security of data. A recent data scan systemwide showed four areas of high risk and three of medium risk, said Rebecca Wyke, vice chancellor for finance and administration.

In June, Robert Dana, vice president for student affairs and dean of students, said at a press conference that the 4,585 students who visited the counseling center between Aug. 8, 2002, and June 12, 2010, should assume they were in the affected database.
Wyke said Monday that no one’s personal information was breached in June. The cost of dealing with the breach was about $130,000.
