General Policies
Faculty and Staff Listservs
In general, all SOE listservs are governed by Syracuse University listserv policies and procedures.
This policy applies to all SOE faculty and staff who both receive SOE listserv messages and who may request a message be distributed to listservs (see Procedure for Sending a Listserv Message below).
Any member of a listserv can send an email to that listserv email address to request it be sent to all recipients.
As a Moderator, Moderators, the Director of Marketing and Communications or the Executive Assistant to the Dean gives final approval for any message sent to faculty and staff listservs.
If a listserv email is not approved, the Executive Assistant to the Dean will work with the original sender to correct the email, explain policies, and/or offer an alternative mode of communication.
Messages should be sent to the most appropriate list on the SOE Listserv Tree.
Suggestions of message types for each list are offered below.
If in doubt, ask the Executive Assistant to the Dean or Director of Marketing and Communications which list is appropriate for your message.
Technical questions about listservs should be directed to soehelp@syr.edu.
Only internal, official communications are appropriate for SOE listservs:
School-wide announcements, such as academic and community events
Personnel notices (hiring, retirement, tenure, promotion)
Some personal notices, as determined by the Office of the Dean
Official and administrative notices (School and University policies, business, or transactional reminders)
Program-to-program communications (course and research opportunities).
Given the official nature of listserv communications, all SOE faculty and staff are automatically listserv subscribers and are placed within an appropriate list.
Faculty and staff cannot unsubscribe from a list
If you believe you have been placed on a wrong or inappropriate list—or if you should be on a listserv but aren’t—contact the Executive Assistant to the Dean.
