Purdue issues new IDs
Shereka Wright, an All-American on the Purdue University women's basketball team, receives a new university ID card Monday (10/20) as Boilermaker quarterback Kyle Orton waits in line. Wright and Orton were among the almost 39,000 students who will exchange their old IDs for new ones over the next four weeks as the university changes the way students, faculty and staff are identified. To increase security, Social Security numbers will no longer be used for identification. Instead, Purdue is assigning students faculty and staff new 10-digit numbers that will have no connection to numbers used outside the university. |
