Inside Higher Ed takes note of the recent UCLA policy on requests to faculty for public documents such as emails. Blog readers will recall a recent posting on that new policy.
...Carole Goldberg, a professor of law and vice chancellor of academic
personnel at UCLA, is co-chair of the joint Academic
Senate-Administration Task Force on Academic Freedom, which drafted the
statement. She said that no particular incident at UCLA had inspired the
statement, but that faculty and administrators wanted to “get ahead of
the curve” on academic freedom and scholarly communications, in light of
several high-profile incidents in at other public institutions in
recent years...
As noted in our prior post, we still suggest awareness (caution) that your emails and other documentation could be made public since privacy guidelines are inevitably open to subjective decisions. In addition, emails you send to another person at some other public university - perhaps not in California - might be obtained under different rules there.
