The Office of Marketing Communications is changing the way it moderates Intercom.

Starting Wednesday, September 9, stories submitted to most Intercom topics will not pass through an editorial review before they appear live on the Intercom website.  With this change, the person who submits the story will be responsible for the writing style and accuracy of details. In addition, authors will gain the ability to make changes to their own stories after posting them.

Permission to post to Intercom will remain the same. Only faculty and staff may post to Intercom, with the exception that students may post to the "Student Organizations" topic.  Only students who are representatives of registered student organizations may post to this topic.

These changes are part of a plan to improve the way we oversee digital and social media for the campus community.
 
Two topics, "Technology" and "HR News," will remain moderated by Information Technology Services and the Office of Human Resources, respectively. "Community Service" will be merged into "Community Connections" and will not be moderated.

The infrequently used "Carpooling" and "Letters" topics will be discontinued and replaced by discussion forums in the myHome community.

E-mail roundups will continue on the same Monday, Wednesday, and Friday schedule.

For further details about the changes, see our newly updated FAQ and Help pages.
