MEMORANDUM

From: Robert Cook, Chief Information Officer
Date: November 19, 2009
Re: Consultation on Student e-Communications
I am pleased to announce the launch of a concentrated period of consultation with students, faculty, and staff to identify student needs for e-mail and other institutionally-provided communications services. A committee will assist me in this endeavour.
Terms of Reference:
1. To review the range and adequacy of current University services that support the e-communication needs of students.
2. To recommend to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) future directions for student e-communications services that reflect changing academic and co-curricular needs, enhanced student experience, and fiscal priorities.
3. To identify concerns and obligations in matters such as the protection of privacy and information security that must be addressed in determining provisioning arrangements.
4. To recommend to the CIO the way in which student e-communications services should be provided; that is, which should be University-operated, which University-facilitated, and which left to personal arrangement by individual students?
