From prior experience, unless you really ride CCIT on this then they aren't going to change anything. I routinely receive emails that have been sent to the mandatory ugrad lists rather than a more appropriate optional list. Policies already exist to facilitate email reduction, these need much stricter enforcement.

Furthermore, it is shameful that we haven't fixed this problem by now. Most campuses, companies, and other organizations figured out how to make appropriate use of email sometime in the late 1990s. However, for the last five years (or more) the Colorado School of Mines has continuously thrown up their hands and said "we don't know how to send less email." Perhaps administrative staff members need an intensive training course to teach them how to not click the "send" button.
