What types of communication would be considered inappropriate? What are my responsibilities relating to e-mail communication?
Examples of inappropriate uses are information not related to the academic college mission, solicitations, promotion of political viewpoints, surveys not sanctioned for college purposes, messages that contain confidential information in the body of the e-mail, etc. Generally, faculty and staff should take care to send information of importance to students, respond to unique student requests, promote use of e-mail communication throughout the college community, refrain from spamming students, and uphold privacy (FERPA) guidelines.
