Hundreds of students' grades have been lost following a backup system failure at Fleming College, leaving staff and faculty scrambling to find hard-copy marks so students can finish the summer term uninterrupted. Fleming has been experiencing power outages due to construction on campus, and at some point the learning management system, which houses grades and course material, went offline. After the system came back online, staff discovered its backup mechanism had failed and data had been lost. Fleming's chief information officer admits there will be some students whose grades cannot be recovered. IT staff hope to conclude their investigation of the incident within a week.
