Subject: Who Do I Contact?

"If the vendor refuses to act upon the news of the vulnerability, then 
Full Disclosure is in order."  (don't release the numbers of course but 
release a generic statement that "this" universtity is not secure.

Send a copy of the email to the University.  Might want to include their 
local TV news as well.  You'd be surprised how the alumni will react to 
get that fixed.

In order to give them one more shot you may wish to tell them on which 
date it will be publically released.
