The names of the students and their home counties have not been released. OSU Associate Director of Media Relations Mack Burke said that due to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protections, there is limited information about the students that can be provided at this time.

Two students from Oral Roberts University were potentially affected. Dr. Charles Scott with ORU said that both students received a notification, and the school is monitoring this situation. Scott said they are aware of the situation across the country and are assessing the implications for the students and will remain compliant and support them.
