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

[Richard Hopkins <richard.hopkins () BRISTOL AC UK>]

We have a policy, but it seems it's classified as "restricted".

A new(ish), related policy which is public, though, is our "Direct
marketing" policy, which while not applicable to those outside the UK/EU
might nevertheless be of interest...

It doesn't please some, but is welcomed by our students.

Cheers,

Richard
