WAICU Connect is a service provided to WAICU members as an online medium to ask questions and share knowledge within the professional community. Only personnel at WAICU schools are granted access to WAICU connect, and only to the groups for which they have signed up. If someone who does not have access to a group wants to solicit information from that group, they should work directly with a representative from their institution to facilitate that request.
Opinions and views expressed within the communities are solely those of the author and do not represent WAICU.
Please do:
- search before posting a question, it may have been answered already.
- be aware of potentially sensitive requests and respond individually when appropriate.
- share for the benefit of all institutions.
- include your name and affiliation in postings.
- be polite and respectful in your posts and replies.
- keep it clean (i.e., no profanity or obscenity)
- give credit where credit is due by citing your sources.
- report illegal or inappropriate postings you find within a community to info@waicu.org or 608-256-7761
Please don't:
- talk about fees, it invites charges of violating antitrust laws.
- take it personally if you do not receive a response.
- share confidential information.
- post defamatory, abusive, threatening, offensive or illegal materials - don't post anything you don't want the public to see!
- post promotional messages (e.g., products/services, job postings, firm/business acquisitions, programs not affiliated with WAICU)
- post unnecessary messages to the whole group; instead, send appreciative notes directly to the sender rather than posting to the whole group.
- send angry, critical, sarcastic or emotionally charged messages.
WAICU will:
- create new forums as requested when there is sufficient interest by members.
- monitor forum postings and respond to user complaints about specific postings.
- remove a posting if it violates the code of conduct.
- remove a member from a forum who continues to violate the code of conduct after receiving a warning.
- occasionally display, copy, publish and distribute information posted within the forums for the purposes of marketing and encouraging member usage.
WAICU doesn't:
- edit postings.
- pay for postings to WAICU Connect
- review postings for technical accuracy
- review or edit job titles, this is up to individual users.
If you have questions, suggestions or problems using WAICU Connect, please contact the WAICU operations assistant at info@waicu.org or 608-256-7761.
