Department Listserv Policy

1. All tenured and tenure-track faculty members are required to be members of the ENG-L list since official communications are made through the list.


2. All members of the department--staff, graduate students, regular and nonregular faculty--are encouraged but not required to join ENGLMU-L. Use this listserv to announce awards, publicize local events, and other matters which are important but not essential to the business of the department.


3. Although general discussion about types of positions needed are appropriate for both listservs, personnel issues, including discussion of individual job candidates, should not be discussed on either listserv.


4. Avoid forwarding "Calls for Papers" to the entire list. If you think the call is appropriate for individual members of the department, please send it directly to them.


5. Include an appropriate subject line with all messages so that members of the department can evaluate the message's importance or relevance.


6. Unless there are unusual circumstances, please do not ask staff members to post messages to the listservs for you. All faculty should be able to post their own messages.
