To: The Campus Community

From: Julia Armstrong-Zwart, Assistant Chancellor, Human Resources

The University proposes to replace the current Electronic Mail Policy and Business and Finance Bulletin IS-6, Campus Communications Guidelines, with a new Electronic Communications Policy.

The Electronic Communications Policy was developed based on the principles articulated in the 1998 Electronic Mail Policy, translating the application of those principles from electronic mail to other forms of electronic communications, including email, web, telecommunications, radio and television. The policy further:

  • defines circumstances under which the University may restrict or rescind electronic communications resources;
  • establishes the allowable uses of anonymity in electronic communications;
  • requires compliance with existing University and campus policies regarding endorsements in electronic communications;
  • requires accessibility and accommodations for users with disabilities in compliance with the law and existing University policies;
  • and identifies when electronic communications records may be encrypted or unencrypted.

The text of the Electronic Communications Policy, as well as a chart that compares current policy with the proposed policy, are located online at: http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/policies/ec/

Faculty comments should be directed to Barbara Brogan (bjbrogan@cats), and staff comments directed to Willeen McQuitta(willeen@cats) by November 15, 2000.

Sincerely,

Julia Armstrong-Zwart, Assistant Chancellor
Human Resources
