If you're a flunking student at the University of Kansas who's in danger of losing scholarship money, well, at least you know you're not alone:
More than 100 students who failed their classes at the University of Kansas last semester found out who shared their misfortune. The school's Office of Student Financial Aid sent an e-mail to 119 students Monday notifying them that they were in jeopardy of having their aid revoked.But the names of the students were included on the e-mail address list - meaning everyone who got the e-mail could see the names of all the other recipients.
"It was a completely inadvertent, unintentional mistake," university spokesman Todd Cohen said Thursday. "It was our error, our mistake and we deeply regret it."
Time for the university to hire someone who understands Outlook. And students, look on the bright side - this will make contacting everyone regarding participation in the class-action lawsuit that much easier.
