In response to the growing volume of global e-mail notices, the President's Cabinet has approved the following guidelines for all global e-mail submissions. These guidelines will take place beginning Friday, October 8.
- Global items will run a maximum of TWO times.
- All submissions must be received by 9 a.m. on the day they are to run.
- Global items must be 150 words or less. Lengthier items should be posted on the web by the office submitting the information and should include a short announcement with the web address linking to the complete information.
- Special globals will be limited to significant items of an urgent nature. Special globals will not be used to communicate items that could have been sent via regular global or to accommodate missed deadlines.
As in the past, items must have a direct relationship to the university. Commercial advertisements for for-profit entities are not permitted. Notices of non-profit fundraising activities and events must have a general university connection such as an ISU team being formed for the Race for the Cure, etc.
In addition, the use of targeted e-mail announcements sent through the MyISU portal will be limited to student groups and subgroups of the employee group. Individual messages for workshops, events and other announcements for faculty and staff should be sent to the global e-mail digest, placed on the portal as announcements but NOT sent through the targeted e-mail announcements.
As the new portal and the new content management software system are implemented, additional refinements will be explored to improve our internal communication systems.
