Students' phone numbers and grade-point averages were also on the stolen laptop "in some cases," according to an information sheet posted on the campus Web site. "The university employee's car was burglarized and the laptop was stolen on Thursday, June 1," the Web site says. But university officials did not learn of the theft until five days later, said Ellen Griffin, the university's spokeswoman, who declined to say what disciplinary actions, if any, had been taken against the faculty member.
