Ball State is looking into safe practice for handling employee and student personal identifiable information (PII) due to the Anthem Inc. data breach last year. President Paul W. Ferguson attended the University Senate meeting Thursday to show support.
Ball State looks to stop data leaks Year after Anthem breach, University Senate talks safety REBECCA KIZER ADMINISTRATION REPORTER | rjkizer@bsu.edu Ball State is investigating safe practices for handling employee and student personal identifiable information (PII) after an Anthem Inc. data breach last year caused at least 140 Ball State employees to experience identify theft and income tax fraud. Loren Malm, Ball State’s interim vice president of information technology, defined PII as any nonpublic information that uniquely identifies a single individual, such as social security numbers. This employee information is sometimes shared to different vendors by the university for various reasons. These reasons may be because PII is mandatory for the vendors to do their jobs, Malm said. Insurance companies, such as Anthem, need employees’ personal information for identification purposes.

JOHN J. PRUIS REMEMBERED IN COMMUNITY Former Ball State president known for love of education

RAYMOND GARCIA ACADEMIC/EDUCATION REPORTER ragarcia@bsu.edu
John J. Pruis, former president of Ball State, is remembered for his dedication to education and the community. Pruis, who served as president of the university from 1968 to 1978, died Jan. 15 at the age of 92. He and his wife Angeline celebrated their 71st wedding an-
niversary last September. David Pruis, his oldest son, said he will always remember how much his father cared and loved his family and Ball State. “Education was important to him, and he just wanted that experience to be the best it could possibly be for the students at Ball State,” David said. He said his father loved seeing students’ achievements and performances, whether it was in sports, onstage or in the arts. “He had some great stories and some great relationships,” David said. “There are many good friends that are still at the univer-
sity and the Muncie community.” One of those relationships John had was with David Bahlmann, president emeritus of the Ball State University Foundation, of which he was a member. Bahlmann said John acted as a mentor to him when he became president of the foundation back in 1990. “He was a very scholarly individual, but he was a very engaging and accomplished person to be around,” Bahlmann said, “He was very willing to listen, talk and share new ideas and go through new ideas with people.”
John had a wealth of knowledge about the university and the community. He guided Bahlmann when he started his new career path in Muncie. “He had a good cross section of his leadership skills, his excellent scholarship and his statesmanship as a leader,” Bahlmann said. “He was an outstanding person.” After his tenure as university president, John worked in corporate relations at Ball Corporation. He retired as vice president of corporate relations in December 1988. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE
