The faculty and staff at Old Dominion University should have the right to have email forwarded to a 3rd party email address such as Gmail or another email account. Forcing faculty to adopt to a particular email system goes against everything higher education stands for, it limits innovation and constrains creativity. We propose letting the market decide what email system each and every faculty member chooses and not forcing them to adopt a University standard to that may be inferior to other products on the market.
Please accept our best wishes and thanks for your attention to this important request.
The faculty and staff of Old Dominion University
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
The feedback I have received from colleagues indicates a strong desire for more flexibility in our digital communication tools. I am currently compiling these experiences to present a formal case for institutional change regarding our email policies.

The groundswell of support for this initiative confirms that our faculty values professional autonomy in digital tools. This momentum demonstrates a clear consensus regarding the need for modern administrative flexibility.

The current system is so slow and clunky. I miss half my emails because they dont sync with my phone right. Just let us forward them.

If I want to use my gmail for work stuff that is my business. Stop forcing us to use this awful web interface.

Its ridiculous that I have to carry a separate device just to keep up with work email because the forwarding is blocked.

The IT department needs to get with the times. Everyone uses gmail or outlook now anyway. Why are we still stuck in the stone age?
