Last 4 digits of SSN and birthdate

A representative of University Advancement contacted me and wanted to know if printing a person's birthday (MM/DD/YYYY) and the last 4 digits of the person's SSN on pledge cards was acceptable. The reason for "needing" this info is it allows staff to search the alumni database much faster. Other info printed on the card: first name, middle initial, last name, phone number, and address. I can not find any sources prohibiting their request, but I am not comfortable with displaying this info. I am concerned with the precedence this may set with other departments. Any suggestions or links to info would be appreciated. Elizabeth Shannon Pittsburg State University - Kansas
