Saint Xavier University Data Breach Litigation

Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division
Case No. 2024CH09951

Welcome to the Settlement Website for the Saint Xavier University Data Breach Litigation Class Action Settlement

If Your Information Was Potentially Accessed in or You Previously Received a Notice Stating You Were Impacted by the Saint Xavier University Data Incident, You Are Eligible to Receive Payments from a Class Action Settlement

If you received the Notice, you are eligible to receive a payment from a proposed $1,750,000.00 class action settlement (the “Settlement Fund”). To be eligible to make a Settlement Claim, your information must have been potentially impacted in the Data Incident perpetrated on Saint Xavier University (“SXU”), between June 29, 2023 and July 18, 2023.

The Litigation alleges that between June 29, 2023 and July 18, 2023, cybercriminals breached SXU’s computer and information systems and potentially accessed personally identifying information, financial account information, medical information and health insurance information (collectively, “Personal Information”) belonging to SXU’s current and former students, prospective students, current and former employees, and dependents, spouses, or beneficiaries of current and former employees and students (the “Data Incident”).

Defendant denies any wrongdoing and denies that it has any liability but has agreed to settle the Litigation on a class-wide basis.

Eligible claimants under the Settlement Agreement will be eligible to receive:

  • Reimbursement for Documented Out-of-Pocket Losses, up to $5,000.00, incurred as a result of the Data Incident; OR

  • A Cash Payment, in lieu of claiming the reimbursement for Documented Out-of-Pocket Losses; AND

  • In addition to making a claim for a Cash Payment or Documented Out-of-Pocket Losses, Settlement Class Members may also make a claim for Credit Monitoring and Insurance Services. Each Settlement Class Member who submits a valid and timely Claim Form may elect to receive two (2) years of Credit Monitoring and Insurance Services (“CMIS”) regardless of whether they also make a Settlement Claim for a Settlement Payment above.
