A Michigan university sent email notifications to thousands of students notifying them about a scholarship award valued at $48,000, but the email was sent in error.
It is the second Michigan university to make a mistake like this in the month of January.
On January 4, Oakland University in Rochester Hills, 28 miles outside of Detroit, Michigan, learned that due to a "human error," their undergraduate student application system sent 5,500 admitted students email notifications they were awarded with one of the university's highest awards, the Platinum Presidential Scholar Award valued at $12,000 per year for four years.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
