			CHAIN LETTER - PYRAMID SCHEME
Regarding the chain letter containing a pyramid scheme posted to USENET 
this week: We at UNM have contacted the responsible individual.  Appropriate 
action is being taken.  He has agreed to write a letter of apology to those 
newsgroups posted to.  We halted our news server and attempted to cancel the 
article as soon as we were able to locate the message ID.

The legal issues and disciplinary actions concerning this incident are being 
reviewed.  Federal privacy laws governing the disimenation of student 
information prevent us from releasing further information.

I apologize for my earlier posting it was a result of some extremely long
hours on my part and attempt to receive some understanding and possibly 
demonstrate that we at UNM were aware of the problem.
