+ I would recccommend watching their video, tis a shame we don’t see more of them!

+ Why did vision suddenly pick up on this?

Well, they kind of are. Studio Ghibli’s films are dubbed and distributed by Disney in the west…

Thanks for clarifying your position. Phrases like “Even if it is a mistake…” and ” ‘by accident’ ” from your previous posting made your feelings on the matter unclear.

Archaeology students have been assured that measures to prevent this happening again have been put in place. They may even be the measures you suggest above. The admin in question was quoted in Vision as saying “Lessons learned” and that seems to reassurance enough for the majority of students in the department.

As for Vision “acting to reassure people”, they could do that best by removing the screenshot completely, but on that issue we shall have to agree to disagree.

Of course I accept that it was done by accident, I don’t think a member of staff would send peoples details on purpose. What I was trying to say is that, the fact that by attaching the wrong document, and the click of a button 70 peoples exam results and their names could be released, suggests that the university have a lax attitude to our exam results and their confidentiality, and that if it happened before it could happen again. I believe people have said the admin person was unfamiliar with a software upgrade, but it still remains that the same thing could happen again, despite how familiar you are with the latest version of excel.

As other people have suggested, perhaps some kind of password protection, or warnings on documents that contain sensitive data would protect our data better.

And no it doesn’t suggest they felt it was inadequate, it suggests that they were merely acting to reassure people who felt quite emotional about it.

So which part of your above posting validates the story? It was obviously a mistake (why would an admin deliberately send the wrong info to numerous students?), even though you seem to doubt that this was done accidentally. The system has been updated (as mentioned before) and on this occasion the students have been forgiving. This is an old story around the department and dragging it into the light again serves no valid purpose.

It would likely be possible for those in the know (other students and friends of those concerned) to work out some of the names on the list if they so wished. This possibility alone should have weighed against the list being published in any way, and Vision’s further blurring just goes to show they feel their earlier attempts were inadequate. The fact remains, the screenshot should be removed…

I would expect more of a response from the University. It is almost as if they dismiss the statistics. If they took our welfare serious they would have made a statement about what they are going to do to reduce crime rates, their apathy suggests they don’t care about the rise and the safety of students.

Those responsible should be ashamed of themselves.

What is more annoying is the fact the Courtyard thought it was acceptable and did nothing to change it until Vision found out.
