The University Electronic Communications Policy has been adopted. Effective November 17, 2000, the new policy supersedes the 1998 University Electronic Mail Policy and Business and Finance Bulletin IS-6, Campus Communications Guidelines.
The Electronic Communications Policy was developed by a Task Force comprised of members from each campus, the Office of the President, and the Academic Council. Comments were solicited from all members of the campus community on two policy drafts. The final document is very responsive to the comments our campus provided.
The new policy reflects a fine balance between providing campuses with guidelines that will assure general consistency within the UC system, with the recognition that campuses are unique and require some flexibility in administering their operations. The revision maintains the appropriate balance between individual privacy rights and the legitimate needs of the University. I encourage all members of the campus community to become familiar with the policy's precepts.
