AN anti-corruption authority yesterday raised the alarm on security of
computerised student records at universities around the nation after it
spotted weaknesses at all 10 public universities in NSW.
The NSW Independent Commission Against
Corruption report on university security was based on an
inquiry into the unauthorised cancellation of students' failed subjects
in their academic records at the University of Technology Sydney. All
other NSW universities were surveyed as part of the inquiry into 21
academic record changes for 11 fee-paying Indonesian students, which
found corruption in the cases of nine of the students.
Deficiencies such as "too many staff with access to modify or create
records", infrequent checks of access and removing ex-employees'
access were found in the universities in NSW.
ICAC recommended that state prosecutors consider charging a former
employee of the UTS Graduate School of Business, Toto Sujanto, with
bribery and unlawfully altering computer records.
He allegedly obtained $8000 in cash for changing subject failures to
cancellations.
ICAC commissioner Irene Moss said the report "does raise questions
for other Australian universities".
