E-mail privacy at IU
IU attorney, law professor agree
that new procedures, policies needed
Fred Cate, Distinguished Professor of law at the School of
Law-Bloomington, joins his wife, Beth Cate, associate university
counsel, in a conversation that outlines the parameters of
Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act. Specifically,
the couple offers their insights concerning assertions that
IU E-mail could potentially be classified as public record.
"I suggest you treat E-mail like a postcard,"
Fred Cate said, adding that E-mail documentation ultimately
is a management issue.
Beth Cate agrees that E-mail procedures are increasingly becoming
a management issue. She suggested the best way to eliminate
worries about E-mail is to routinely delete personal messages
or create a non-university E-mail account for personal messages.
