Previous Politech message: "UCLAer suspended for writing email criticizing Israel" http://www.politechbot.com/p-02627.html ******** Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2001 08:42:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Dan Tsang <dtsangat_private> To: Declan McCullagh <declanat_private> Subject: [Subv] UCLA pay-docking story update (fwd) Feel free to circ... Our October 5 show on Jonnie Hargis, the library assistant (not librarian) at UCLA whose pay was docked for a week after he responded to a mass e-mail with one defending Palestinians, has led to follow-up stories by media outlets nationwide that contacted Subversity. Many had seen our press release on the Technology and Politics list by Declan McCullough. http://www.politechbot.com/p-02627.html. In addition, the Daily Californian today ran a story on the case. Our Oct 5 interview on Subversity with Hargis is now archived on the Subversity RealAudio archive page: http://falco.kuci.uci.edu/~dtsang/subversity/realaudio.htm Click on Latest Archived Show. Here is the UCLA Library policy that was sent to Hargis the same day he was suspended, September 14. It's cited in some of the articles. UCLA released a copy to AP. ====================================================== To: Unit Plus (for staff distribution) Please remind your staff that sending unsolicited emails containing political, religious, or even patriotic messages to groups such as units, departments, or other library lists is an unacceptable use of library email. This is true for messages which are original, forwarded, and responses to other messages. Recipients of these unsolicited email messages may have very different views and should not be subjected to what they may interpret as electronic harrassment by other library staff members. While this is particularly important now during this national crisis, it is a general policy.
