Listserv Guidelines

By subscribing to the Region VIII listserv, you are agreeing to abide by the guidelines and polices described below, and you are acknowledging that you are solely and legally responsible for any statements that you make on this public network.

Please help all of us keep this listserv a valuable tool by observing the following guidelines when messaging. Keep a copy of it or bookmark this page for future reference. These guidelines are approved by the Region VIII Leadership Team.

  1. Provide a concise subject line: For example - OPT question: Re new guidance; Job posting: Opening at X college for Y position; Ideas needed for cultural programming with XYZ population
  2. Only respond to the individual(s) who sent the message, not the entire listserv. If giving advice on a particular scenario or congratulating a colleague, only respond to the individual(s) who sent the message.
  3. Ask if you can forward a response. If sending a message, ask the person or people who responded for permission to pass along the response verbatim or as a summary.
  4. When in doubt, don't send it! Consult with the appropriate Regional Team member to inquire if a message or question is appropriate to send.
  5. REMEMBER, the listserv is public and only one resource. Anyone can see what is sent, so be sure to message wisely! Also, answers and advice provided are not definitive; always consult with policy guidance and regulations for questions you may have.
