Everdeen Mason of Ohio State University’s student paper, The Lantern, reports:
It’s been a rough end of the term for Ohio State Dining Services. The director of Dining Services, Thomas Stevenson, has resigned from his position, and 350 student employees had their social security numbers accidentally leaked in an e-mail.
“There is absolutely no connection [between Stevenson's resignation and the leaked social security numbers]. We considered that people might draw that conclusion, but it’s purely coincidence,” said Ruth Gerstner from Student Life.
