The University of Iowa is warning 184 students and graduates that grade information and Social Security numbers were on a laptop stolen from a former teaching assistant. The laptop was stolen in September from the home of a former teaching assistant.

The laptop contains class records, including attendance, test scores and grades of 184 students who took graduate courses between 2002 and 2006. The Social Security numbers of 100 students are also on the laptop.

The Philosophy department chairman is mailing letters to affected students and accepting phone calls from those who are concerned about the incident.
