Obviously, I am concerned about having potentially sensitive university email content sitting on a gmail server. What are you folks doing to manage these sorts of requests? Are you preventing staff or faculty from doing this? If so, how has that worked? We are rapidly moving toward expectations people have of having all of their messaging funneled to one place, and while this is certainly convenient, I'm quite concerned about how we can ensure a reasonable level of security.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="2">Thanks - </font> </p> </blockquote> <font size="2"><font face="Arial">We encourage our people to forward their Wayne State e-mail to another account if they regularly use other accounts (i.e. rather than not read our sparkling prose at all), but people shouldn't be sending that kind of sensitive e-mail anyway--or at least not without encrypting it.
