Someone stole a $3,000 video projector from the Student Union Memorial Center, 1303 E. University Blvd., sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, reports stated.

The father told the employee his son was mad at a UA professor and the father said he wanted to know why.

The employee explained the FERPA laws to the man and said she could not release any information about the son because it violated protection laws, reports stated.
