FROM A STORY ON WLOX:


The email surveillance came to light in hearings last week concerning professors Frank Glamser and Gary Stringer.


Monday, a USM spokesperson told us that only the people directly affected in the investigation were monitored. No student emails were monitored in any way.

Weren't e-mail message sent BY (not simply TO) the student editor of the student newspaper monitored?  Her name was certainly revealed at last week's hearing (thus adding insult to injury).  Is anyone aware of e-mail by other students being monitored?  How, in any case, would the administration prove that this is NOT happening?  Is there any system in place for monitoring the monitors?

Yes. The emails between Rachel Q. and Glamser were initiated by her. There was also an email from her to Myron Henry mentioned at the hearing. He was supposedly not being investigated. Go figure.

I have quickly looked over the so-called evidence that the administration submitted against Dr.Frank Glamser.  This packet includes emails.  It appears that pages of emails were printed and photocopied together.  At the bottom of one of those pages is the beginning of an email from another faculty that apparently was not being investigated, unless she IS being investigated but doesn't know it.


Additionally, there is email from an individual at another university to Dr. Gary Stringer that occurred in July 2003.  Dr. Stringer moved this email off the usm server in August 2003.  This email was NOT on the hard drive that the university seized on March 5 2004.


My question is:  How did the administration get a copy of this July 2003 email?


I hope that AAUP can obtain expert analysis of this email situation soon.  If anyone knows someone who can do this, please let me know.


Amy Young, incoming president, AAUP-USM

I am sure that there are many experts who can help with the email situation.  Here is a link to such an expert.  I have never used him or his firm so I can't provide a recommendation, but it is at least a start for you.

By the way, Amy Young: thanks for your courage, eloquence, and leadership so far and as this struggle moves into its next phase.  Academics around the country admire what you and your colleagues are doing to help protect the rights of professors everywhere, not just at USM.
