Could not agree more – the more segregation the better.  It really simplifies the HIPAA aspect of email as you can deal 
with both environments different and scale the cost accordingly.

Subject: [SECURITY] Email and IAM directory separation

All,

I left higher ed and went to healthcare a few years back.  Now our health system owns a College.  The topic of email 
and active directory has come up a few times.  I would like feedback from those of you working for universities with a 
healthcare element and the approach you all have taken.  My thought is our higher education and clinical businesses 
should remain separate since the level of trust, regulation, and security are different for both sectors.  We should 
not house the email from our students & faculty at the College in the same environment as that of our clinicians and 
healthcare administration.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
