Yale Switching To Gmail, Not Without Opposition

Posted by timothy on from the maybe-schools-should-not-be-isps dept.

PwnSnake writes "While it makes sense for small (and large) corporations to move to Gmail, something seems amiss when a top private university decides to hand everything over to Google. Although most in that community seem to welcome the change, several organizations on campus have joined forces to call for a transparent process and get students and faculty thinking about the downsides of the switch. The problem is choice (users can already forward mail to Gmail; it doesn't make sense to force that option and not have a backup or opt-out mail server)."

    A first I thought this was about the lock manufacturer.

    Now a whole slew of lock-picking jokes are consigned to oblivion. :(

    Even puns about keys.

    Damn you.
