The University of South Carolina is warning about 7,000 faculty, staff and 
students that some of their personal information was on a desktop computer 
stolen from an office at the business school.

Russ McKinney, the university spokesman, said that over the Memorial Day 
weekend, several items were stolen from an office in the Moore School of 
Business.

"Among the items was a desktop computer belonging to Deputy Dean Dr. Scott 
Koerwer," McKinney said. "As a result of the computer being stolen, we 
feel it is possible that some personally identifiable data could have been 
compromised."

McKinney said university officials have no evidence anyone's personal 
information was accessed.
