Kevin,

We almost lost credit card processing rights. It was just after I was
hired, and in the interim between when my predecessor left and when I
started nobody followed up on one of our department merchants that had
been deemed out of compliance. They were way past deadline, having been
warned, and the bank was out of patience (first I'd heard of it).

So... no, we didn't *actually* lose credit card rights, but everyone up
and down the chain of command was very convinced that we would in very
short order. So I got them compliant QUICKLY.

Hi Brad:
So can anyone cite any cases where Universities have lost the right to
process credit cards?

Btw - I am in the initial stages of this work and I do appreciate all of
the insights everyone has provided I am trying to get some quantitative
data on real dollar impacts Universities have been hit with in regards
to PCI non-compliance.  I view this as an integral part of an initial
risk assessment.
