Are you using your e-mail account solely for personal matters?  You may
be violating University rules.

The University has recently released an e-mail policy, a mission
statement for e-mail use on campus.  If you haven�t seen it, you should
take a look.

The rules, in part, say:

The only people who can use the system are staff, student or faculty
pursuing educational or academic interests.

You cannot use the system provided by the University for commercial use
or financial gain. So, if you have a home page that asks people to buy
your airbrushed T-shirts... beware.

Once they develop a procedure, the new policy even gives them the right
to publish your e-mail if they deem it necessary.

University officials say that these restrictions are necessary to
preserve system resources.  After all, you are sharing your system with
at least a few hundred other users.  When you send out too much e-mail,
it slows everyone down.

Have you read the policy?  Did you even know about it?  This is your
chance to have your opinion voiced.  How much of your e-mail use is
personal (use that the university policy restricts and labels as
�incidental�)?  Will you be in trouble when they begin enforcing this
policy?  Or do you see the necessity for such regulation?

include your real name or a phone number where we can reach you for
further comment.
