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]
