Morgan & Morgan’s attorneys have filed a class action lawsuit against Shorter University over allegations that the Rome, Georgia, school failed to adequately safeguard students’ personal and medical information. According to the lawsuit, sleeves of folders containing student athletes’ medical records, as well as other personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers, birthdays and billing information, were physically stolen out of an unlocked filing cabinet in an unlocked room on campus. Furthermore, the suit alleges that Shorter University notified some students that their personal data may have been stolen, but failed to alert others of the records theft.
Our attorneys believe that other Shorter University students, not only student-athletes, may have been affected by this data theft.
