Faculty and Staff members are able to post announcements to the B-W community by using electronic mailing lists and discussion boards intended for mass distribution. Messages issued via any of these electronic communication sources fall under the guidelines stated in the “Community Standards of Conduct” policy. Under no circumstances should any B-W distribution source be taken advantage of for messages contradictory to the expectations of appropriate conduct outlined in this policy.
To send or post a message to faculty and staff members, three options are available:
This distribution list is for messages that are exclusively B-W business (such as campus events or announcements. It is mandatory that all faculty and staff receive these messages.
This distribution list is for messages that are of a personal nature such as congratulations, sympathy, or personal items for sale (exclusively items owned by B-W folks). This list is optional; faculty and staff members who do not wish to receive these messages should contact the HelpDesk to be removed from distribution. This is not an editorial forum.(See “B-W Dialogue” below.)
B-W Dialogue (available on the B-W intranet portal at www.bw.edu/campus)
This is a threaded discussion board for the free exchange of ideas, opinions, or debate among faculty and staff. B-W Dialogue is an optional module on the portal. Those interested in participating must add it to the content on their home page. A subscriber feature enables an automatic email notification to enrolled members when new a message has been posted.
Faculty and staff each have their own distribution list, as well:
This list is distributed to all faculty members (and select administrators) for announcements pertaining exclusively to faculty. The recipients of this distribution are the only ones eligible to post messages to the list. It is mandatory that all faculty receive these announcements.
This list is distributed to all staff members for announcements pertaining exclusively to staff. Staff members and administrators are eligible to post messages to this list. It is mandatory that all staff receive these announcements.
To send a message to students, there is a daily bulletin that is sent out by the HelpDesk:
Messages are collected each day and posted in digest format the next morning.E-mail must be received by 5:00 p.m. to be included in the bulletin the following day. Event announce-ments must be from a B-W office or a recognized student organization. NO PERSONAL ADVERTISING is accepted. It is mandatory that all students receive these announcements.
Note: To reduce the number of redundant messages and increase readership, please double-check that all pertinent details are included and verify information accuracy (date, time, etc.) prior to sending.
