You may not have known this but the email lists that were used with GroupWise were manually created and updated.  That process led to many omissions due to a variety or reasons.  The Faculty Designation List was a list maintained by Academic Affairs and Human Resources maintained some other lists.  You can see that this process was hodgepodge and a manual nightmare to keep accurate.

 

With Cabinet's approval, to remedy the situation starting at 8 am tomorrow, Wednesday, October. 31, the College will now have Official College email lists.  The old email lists will be deleted from the GroupWise system.  The new email lists will be updated automatically on a daily basis.  Each employee will be assigned to only one list: Faculty-FT, Faculty-HT, Faculty-PT, Administrative, Support, Emeriti.  Assignment to a list would be determined  by the employee's primary role at the College.  When an employee is added or any change in status of a current employee is officially made in Datatel by Human Resources, the change, delete or add would be automatically picked up by ITS and the email lists would be updated within 24 hours.

 

Individualized lists should be created by each departments as needed.  You can share the individualized list with others by following the directions on the attachment included with this ITS UPDATE.

 

As a reminder you can help prevent Junk Mail and SPAM by not contributing to it.  What is interesting to one person, may not be interesting to another.  Incessant reminders about coming events tend to be annoying.  And, chain letters, political advertising, solicitations for non-college sponsored organizations or causes, proselytizing and any commercial venture are examples of unacceptable use of North Central's email system.
