Subject: Who Do I Contact?

"I am a supporter of full disclosure, but when I see in this situation the pros and cons of going FD the cons heavily outweigh any benefit. Yes the school may move faster, or they wont but in the process it would put thousands of student records at risk to misuse and id theft."

What you don't realize is that just by posting here that an Educational Institution is vulnerable to this,  Some Readers (not me) might already be scanning for web vulnerabilities at these sites across the US.

So Why not just post it here and tell everyone and then maybe the President of the Institution may get a call at 2 am Sunday morning realizing that they need to fix this now.
