Emails

I'm getting a handle on the number of emails a week. Here was yesterday, for example:

Tonight at the Hall center

Graduate research symposium 

Call for teaching award

Congratulations for someone who won something 

KU today

COGA

University governance

So let's say 7 a day, for 35 a week and 560 per semester. I'm not counting emails for department business or that are addressed to me personally, only mailing list emails that go to everyone in the university or the college, etc... The university does have a legitimate duty to communicate with us about a variety of things, and each unit of the university also has communication responsibilities. Perhaps we could have "no email Friday," though?
