Recently, officials at the Baylor School of Law made a blunder that got a lot of people talking and made many more concerned about the safety of

“Releasing this spreadsheet tells prospective students that Baylor is sloppy with students’ personal information.”

their personal information. On April 3, an email was sent to students accepted to the Baylor School of Law in fall to inform them of a payment deadline extension. The email, however, contained an attachment with a spreadsheet listing the personal information including ethnicity, names, LSAT scores, GPAs, degrees, phone numbers and addresses. The email was sent at 12:39 p.m., followed by a recall message at 1:10, and an apology was sent to the students 7:32 p.m. by the university after it had been alerted of the situation. The apology email asked students to “treat the document as confidential, just as you would as a lawyer, and delete the information.” It also expressed the university’s “deep- est apologies” and told students the university had “taken steps to ensure that such a mistake is not made in the f utu re .” While the incident was an accident, the university could have easily avoided the whole mishap. The attachment slipped past the eyes of staff members that should have checked the email before sending it. Furthermore, files with sensitive information should be en- crypted to keep unauthorized people from viewing the data.

As Baylor Nation bid adieu to sophomore forward Perry Jones III Monday, it applauded the return of freshman forward Quincy Miller. However, the Baylor Bears will not be Miller’s team. There are five players on the court, not one. Around him are players that received valuable experience advanc- ing to the Elite Eight this season.

When his team really needed him (at BYU and against Kansas State in the first round of the conference tournament) he delivered. Saying next season’s team belongs to Miller will hurt him more than it will help him. One problem with last season’s team was the team never showed up entirely to take care of business. Against Colorado it was Heslip. Against Xavier it was Acy. Against Kansas State it was Jones. Against Texas A&M it was Jackson. More of a team effort will be expected from Baylor entering the 2012-13 season, something that cannot happen if all the focus is on a single player. Yes, Miller is a special kid with amazing talent on the hardwood, but his teammates around him possess the same qualities. Next season should be nothing short of special.
