ID Program- A Success
The program to upgrade Millersville faculty, staff and student IDs has been deemed a success, with several hundred participating. The University offered a sticker with an expiration date, so that IDs could comply with new voter registration laws in advance of the fall elections.
In addition, the University offered to have IDs issued prior to 2008 swiped to make sure they did not contain social security numbers on the magnetic stripe. This was a voluntary program that ran from May 2 until May 17. The Campus I.D. Office in Boyer Building will continue to offer the upgrades during their normal business hours. The final results of the upgrade and social security number swipe check are as follows:
Social Security Removed:
Faculty / Staff – 265
Students – 5
Stickers Added:
Faculty / Staff – 119
Students – 269
ID’s checked with no SSN:
Faculty / Staff – 99
Students – 325

While I disagree with need to have a sticker added to my id, I did get one and I appreciated having my SSN removed from my card. The staff running the program were friendly, fast and very professional – couldn’t ask for better customer service!!
