2002 records unintentionally released
Staff Report
Issue date: 4/19/11

Coarsely shredded documents displaying the names and Social Security 
numbers of Eastern employees in 2002 have been unintentionally released 
because of improper disposal.

"EIU officials are still in the process of determining which years' 
information was made available; at this point, only records from 2002 are 
known to be affected," stated a press release from Janice Hunt, the public 
information specialist for the university, Monday evening. "People who 
have been determined to be at risk will be notified once that 
determination is made."

University officials are working to contact by email, setting up a 
toll-free telephone hotline, and by procuring credit-monitoring services 
for affected employees, the press release stated.
