"If the vendor refuses to act upon the news of the vulnerability, then Full Disclosure is in order." (don't release the numbers of course but release a generic statement that "this" universtity is not secure.
Is this a joke? Absolutely do *not* implement full disclosure. Doing so will cause unnecessary and probable exposure of private information. First, contact the university's IT department. If that doesn't work, contact a regent of the university. They will put you in touch with an individual that can fix the problem. There is no reason to reveal the university to parties that have no business with said information. Public forums only disclose information to people that have no right to that information. You can not control the actions individuals in the public have. Risking the privacy of innocent students and faculty is not the proper means to solve a problem. Do you want X number of script kids pounding a university causing them more problems?
Send a copy of the email to the University. Might want to include their local TV news as well. You'd be surprised how the alumni will react to get that fixed.
What are you, a media whore?
In order to give them one more shot you may wish to tell them on which date it will be publically released.
Ridiculous.
