The computer science department here at the University of Illinois
uses a news system for internal communications extensively. Today, for
example, I read a reminder that the building is nonsmoking.

In addition to the general department-wide newsgroups. Many groups of
people have their own newsgroups. For example, my research group has
its own group, the professors have their own group, most CS classes
have their own group.

The software is not the normal news software; rather it is "notes".
Security is provided by restricting networking to trusted machines and
by having some groups accessable only by people who belong to proper
Unix file-protection group. So, for example, only faculty can read the
professor's notesfile.
