Donald Jay Kulpa of Cincinnati and Kenneth Neben of North Bergen, N.J., argued their right to privacy had been violated after the security breaches were discovered last year. The lawsuit asked a judge to order the school to pay for credit monitoring services for the people whose personal information may have been compromised. Judge J. Craig Wright of the Ohio Court of Claims granted a motion by the university Wednesday to dismiss the case, saying the plaintiffs failed to prove they suffered damages for which they could be compensated, the school said.
