VII.
NEW BUSINESS
A. ASD 03-69 CSUF Draft Electronic Mail Policy
It was m/s [Parker/Fromson] to approve document ASD 03-69. Senator Parker explained to the body that
this policy was first drafted by a committee of the Senate 38 months ago. He explained the policy is designed to educate
the university community about appropriate usage of the University’s e-mail
system and about the University’s responsibility to provide access to law
enforcement or other agencies when legally mandated to do so. The lack of an
e-mail policy exposes the university to a tremendous amount of risk.
Senator Gilbert reminded the Senators that last year about
this time, the Senate discussed an earlier version of this policy. The Senate
had raised a number of questions and concerns and requested the Executive
Committee to work on this policy over the summer. The Executive Committee spent the better part
of last summer working on dealing with those issues and revising the policy
together with Senator Parker and John Beisner. This draft is a reflection of
all of that work, in addition to some consultation with faculty and staff
employee unions in terms of making sure the policy indicates in the case where
a union member is alleged to be in violation of the policy and hearings on that
will follow the appropriate process delineated in the appropriate CBA.
It was m/s/p [Meyer/Sutphen] to amend line 35 on page 2, adding the word
“(Spam)” at the end of

Richard Pollard, University Librarian
Subject:
Library Policy
Richard
Pollard explained the necessity for the library policy and noted some CSU
campus do have limits. The reductions vary across 9 categories of borrowers and
include changed limits for both books and interlibrary loan books and article
checkouts. He noted there were only 7 faculty that are in excess of the 150
borrowing limit and only 2 faculty that were over the inter-library loan limit.
He indicated he would like to implement this policy for a year to see how it
plays out.
Dr.
Brunelle, faculty of History Department, expressed concern that faculty had not
been consulted more widely. Senator
Arkenberg questioned the need for a policy restricting the number of resources
that can be borrowed, especially one that differentiates between full- and
part-time faculty and staff. Senator Hewitt also expressed concern about the
distinction between full-time faculty and lecturers. Senator Nanjundappa said the faculty should
be surveyed to see what a reasonable limit would be.

Committee for serious consideration.

question.
