Leggott said she interacts with students quite often via email as it offers accessibility to her during off-campus hours and allows students who would never come to her office to communicate with her, often on a regular basis. Prof. Zoller agreed and reported that he fields hundreds of emails per quarter from his students. Prof. Sarikaya advised the council that he was not able to make do with the allotted 100 megabits of mailserver space and had to request an increase. He thinks faculty should be given more space from the start. Mr. Dewey said he would contact Oren Sreebny to see if they could agree on how to proceed with the council's idea and also suggested the council contact USWest on its own.
Students are the only concentrated population.
Prof. Schmitt asked if the council envisioned the service as being restricted for University use only. Currently it takes around 9 cards. Prof. Beach suggested submitting a Class A resolution to the SEC to insist that the University explore the feasibility of such a business arrangement. The council agreed this was the appropriate course to follow. Mr. Miller also expressed concern, however, that OTT was losing many of its experienced personnel and it often took as long as five years to train replacements.
