The UofG has apologised to the students, alumni, friends and members of staff who received an email sent from the Alumni Office on Wednesday 31 January with the heading: ‘BAcc 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner - could you be our Class Champion?’.

The distribution of this test email happened because of a systems error. The University is currently conducting an investigation to establish the cause, and will put measures in place to prevent it happening again.

A message from the University offered a sincere apology, and also assured recipients that no personal data had been compromised. The UofG records and respects all preferences of how the University community wishes to be contacted.
