Did court dismiss students’ negligence case?

Former student applicants of Virginia Union University alleged that the institution mishandled their personal data, which led to a data breach involving their personally identifying information. The university allegedly stored students’ full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and driver's license details. This sensitive information was often gathered through online applications and retained for years, even after a student's relationship with the university ended.
