In recent months a number of colleges have opted to prohibit campus e-mail users from automatically forwarding their e-mail messages to different accounts. Inevitably, students who have gotten hooked on Hotmail grumble about the policy.
But a student at the University of Texas at Arlington deserves special credit for the vehemence of his objection. After campus officials announced that they would put an end to automatic forwarding, Andre Santos, a computer-science major, fired off a profanity-laced e-mail message to the university’s assistant provost. Compounding that bit of questionable judgment, Mr. Santos also sent the missive to a campus listserv by mistake. (The Shorthorn)
