FACULTY ISSUES AND CONCERNS 
EMAIL LISTSERVE

Nearly 1,000 UW faculty members rely on  FACULTY ISSUES AND CONCERNS email listserve for news and discussion of campus and national issues. Since there is no faculty newspaper, this is the only faculty controlled communications medium at the University of Washington.

It is a moderated list featuring  news items from The Chronicle of Higher Education , New York Times, and Associated Press as well as important notices from the American Association of University Professors national office. In addition the list provides a forum of the discussion of policy issues facing faculty on this campus. Galya Diment is the editor.

Listserve management guidelines:

FACULTY ISSUES AND CONCERNS is a moderated listserve. The editor is responsible for maintaining an open and effective listserve that advances the principles of AAUP and encourages an active discussion of higher education issues and faculty rights. Since the listserve belongs to AAUP, it is not an open forum. The editor exercises judgment in selecting items for publication. If a conflict should arise over the rejection of a message, the editor shall consult with the backup editor. If the rejected message comes from a member of the Executive Committee and cannot be otherwise resolved through three-party consultation, the full Executive Committee shall be consulted and shall decide whether or not to publish the item.
(Executive Committee resolution passed October 7, 2003)
