see all this information and as many kids as it were on this paper with
all this information, I was totally out done," Alesha Dumas said. Her
daughter's personal information was released as well.</p><p>The email
comes from Creighton University Trio Program. It works closely with high
school students. The email was meant to be a reminder for the upcoming
ACT test on Thursday.</p><p>"Basically don't forget it, it had the address and the times," she said.</p><p>However, attached to the email was something a bit extra.</p><p>"A
lot of the kids information on it, all the way from first name, last
name, social security numbers, grades, email address, phone numbers and
date of birth."</p><p>She called the director of the program for an explanation, but she didn't get what she expected.</p><p>"The
good news is, only four people got the email and I told him, there's no
way because when I spoke with her today, she had said six people, so
the numbers are still jumping."</p><p>Her daughter even got a copy of the email.</p><p>"She went to her phone and was able to open up the same information and pull it up," Dumas said.</p><p>The program's leader sent a recall email Tuesday morning.</p><p>"The
emails were not recalled, maybe what she sent out as far as the ACT
prep and the location may have been recalled, but the list was not
recalled," Dumas said.</p><p>Dumas says she recognizes it may have been a simple mix up, but that's not the point, personal information still got out there.</p><p>"It
may have been an honest mistake on their part, but how many times does a
person make a mistake and can take it back, "Dumas said.</p><p>Tuesday evening, Creighton University released a statement to FOX 42:</p><p>"Creighton
University was made aware that a document containing personal
information about students in our Trio program was emailed to five
families involved in the program. An investigation is underway to find
out what happened, what information was in the document, and who may be
affected. Once the investigation is complete, the University will take
any necessary steps to ensure that the privacy rights of anyone affected
by this incident are protected."</p><p>Dumas says after speaking with
school officials, an apology letter was not sent out or an email
notifying parents their children information got out to several
strangers.</p><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><b><span style="font-size:10pt"></span></b><span style="font-size:10pt"></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
