I am supporting a local ballot initiative. Can I host an email distribution list to update interested people on this issue?
The courts have yet to address the specific issue of whether an individuals use of state supported email for political purposes violates the law. While the University may choose not to be involved in deciding whether a personal communication violates this provision, other policy provisions may apply and an employee may still be subject to personal liability under the law. Employees should exercise appropriate caution prior to engaging in such activities, which may have negative consequences for them and the University.
