CR80News is developing stories on both subjects. You can help us out by sharing your feedback. Just copy the following into your email program with your answers, and send it along to contributing editor Andy Williams at andy@AVISIAN.com by July 21. Thank you!

CR80News Survey

  1. How much, if anything, does your university charge for lost or stolen campus ID cards?
  2. Does your school still use the Social Security number as a student identifier? If so, do you have plans in place to make a change? If not, what numbering scheme did you change to and when?
  3. Are you available to be interviewed on either, or both topics?

Please provide your name, title, college/university/community college, email address, your phone number, and the best time to contact you if you’re willing to be interviewed further. [end]
