Diana Dillaber Murray reports that a “computer glitch” is being blamed for students’ information being exposed on the Internet:

Oakland Community College is investigating how personal information of more than 100 students in connection with student loans became available on the college website.

Personal information such as social security numbers and addresses of 129 students went on the college website last Friday afternoon.

The information was removed from the college website as of 10 a.m. Monday, after one of the affected students notified OCC of the issue.

I wonder how they’re going to discipline “glitch” for this….
