A computer holding personal and financial information on 5,100 Vanguard University students and some of their parents was stolen last week, police said Friday.
The theft from the school’s financial aid office happened over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The computer contained federal student-aid applications for the 2005-06 and 2006-07 academic years.
The university sent letters to affected and prospective students, advising them how to avoid potential identity theft.
