Dean Ken Warner: We, the students of the School of Public Health, do respectfully request that the email address [email protected] be moderated. The number of emails that are not related to academic matters is growing and the SPH mailing list is now even being used by people who are not SPH students. Many other U-M schools use moderated lists, where incoming emails are scanned for basic academic value before they are sent out. Currently the SPH mailing list is not, which means that anyone could send out any number of emails to the entire SPH population without any prior authorization. As graduate students, we value our time and don't wish to waste it reading or deleting garbage email. As such, we add our names to this petition to request that the issue of a moderated SPH mailing list be immediately take up by the administration of the School of Public Health.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by how many people feel the same way about our inbox clutter. This momentum belongs entirely to you and I am just grateful to be part of the group pushing for this change.

I am so tired of getting junk mail about lost keys and random social events when I should be studying. Just filter the list already.

Ridiculous that people who dont even go here can spam the whole school. Get it together.
