The school did not identify the director of communications network services - identified on the school's Web site as Thomas Reid - and manager of Internet and systems. Both were suspended pending the school's investigation of the breaches, five of which have happened since March 2005. A message was left late Tuesday at a home phone listing for Reid. Citing results from an independent audit, the school also said University President Roderick McDavis will ask trustees for up to $2 million to improve computer security. McDavis said he deeply regretted the inconvenience and stress the breaches caused university employees.
