Windesheim sends 18 thousand students reminder by mistake

The Windesheim University of Applied Sciences made a mistake. A reminder for one student accidentally went to 18 thousand students. In the mail, the college threatened a collection agency.

It was a stern email. A student was in arrears with 193 euros of tuition fees and had to pay quickly or the university would call in a collection agency. Registration for the new academic year was also not possible.

Apology This e-mail accidentally went to 18 thousand students, reports newspaper the Stentor. Windesheim has some 26 thousand students and is among the ten largest colleges in the country.

An apology followed within an hour, but some students paid immediately. They will get the money refunded this week, the college promises. (HOP, BB)
