An open letter to IT Services and Senior Vice President and Provost Jonathan Wickert,

Step it up. Your response to your data breach is pathetic.

After learning of the breach, I immediately called my old stomping grounds, the Solution Center, only to discover their staff had not been briefed on the breach or how to respond to inquires about it.

I don’t want to call a 1-800 number. I want the people that failed to protect my data to tell me if I was affected. Why do you still need my Social Security number anyway?

Why is a third party now handling my personal data? What if they get hacked?

Step it up. Target’s pathetic response to their data hack is looking better than yours.

[Also, if my identity gets stolen I might not have any money to give to the foundation.]

Step. It. Up.
