My gf just got an email from the Associate Dean of Baylor law informing her that all of her, and every applicant's, information, has been accidentally sent out to everyones emails.

From: "Jackson, Leah" <Leah_Jackson@baylor.edu>
Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2012 19:32:34 -0500
Subject: Baylor Law Admitted Students

An e-mail sent earlier today to you inadvertently contained an attachment with personal information about you and other accepted applicants. We apologize for this error. The earlier email was sent in response to numerous phone calls and emails we received from applicants expressing concern that they were unable to make online seat deposits over the weekend because of technical difficulties with the university’s online payment system. The attachment did not contain social security numbers or birth dates and we do not have reason to believe that the information has been put to any unauthorized use at this time.

Our high standards of professionalism require us to treat all student data with the greatest degree of confidentiality and we regret this unfortunate mistake. Due to the sensitive nature of the information that was contained in the attachment, we ask you to treat the document as confidential, just as you would as a lawyer, and delete the information.

Again, we send our deepest apologies for this error. We sincerely regret any concerns caused by our action. We have taken steps to ensure that such a mistake is not made in the future.

Should you have additional questions regarding this matter, you may contact me by calling (254) 710-4822, or Nicole Masciopinto, Director of Admissions, by calling (254) 710-3239.

Sincerely,
Leah Jackson

Associate Dean and Professor of Law

Note: If you're considering Baylor, but you want more scholarship money, you now have some leverage. They're going to lose some applicants over this. And you now know how much the other scholarship offers were.

Squeeze 'em for every last $1000.

Maybe if Prof. Starr wasn't so busy threatening to sue people for trying to escape from the Big 12, they could concentrate resources on things like, I don't know, running a competent front office.

Especially since these are law students I would say yes. I'd imagine Kstar just found something to do now that he's not suing A&M and SEC.

And you realize that for Univerisity of Texas Students Baylor Law is a fallback position.

Still congrats to those that got in, but Buddy graduated numero uno from that fine institution many years ago.

Well, at least releasing this information will make it easy for people to size up each other before year 1 classes start.

Buddy the Elf. Even wearing Baylor green and gold. Must be a male-only law school.

This is the real pisser.

I foresee that some future Baylor grads might have some difficulty grasping the concept of spoliation of evidence.

AggieChemE09, from your first page, it looks like no 1L is paying more than $15k. Is the rest of the spreadsheet similar?
