5. Student Emails (see handout): Bill Freud spoke about the plan to require students
to use an official log-in and direct all communication to students’ official campus

Main points and next steps:

feedback.
 The new version will not mention forwarding.
 We generally agree with the proposal and timeline.
 The new policy will go into effect summer 2007
 Frank S. and Kaye O. will develop messages to go to students over the
next 6-12 months.
 The overall goal is to enhance communication with students
 Bill Freud will also look at other universities’ email policies and
procedures.
6. Keeping and returning student work: Manuel Rupe offered the group advice
regarding syllabus policy and grade challenges. He suggested that syllabi clearly
outline expectations of the course to students. Manuel agreed to review the draft
attendance policy the draft misconduct policy, the draft syllabus policy, and Frank
J.’s memo to CAM faculty.
