Re: Mass E-mail to Students, Staff, and Faculty

We have just drafted a Listserv usage policy - see attached.  Just
draft, but will be approved shortly. Also will be updated at least
annually.  Emails to studentall, nkuemer or nkuall are moderated,
meaning they are only released by those who are on the lists attached.

Subject: [SECURITY] Mass E-mail to Students, Staff, and Faculty

Folks,

I know this is not exactly a security topic, but does have security
implications. We are still getting pressure from University
organizations to use email as a medium to contact Faculty, Students, and
Staff.  We have sort of a defacto policy in place that requires approval
from an executive office before we allow it.

A copuple of questions I have are:

1. Does your school allow the use of Mass e-mail?

2. Do you require approval and from whom?

3. Do you have a tool that the requester(s) can use to send it
themselves or does central IT send it for them?

Thanks,
