Gslisadjuncts FW: Brightspace Email Tool Configuration – Change in Messaging Permissions

Please share with your faculty.

Background and Rationale The Office of Academic Affairs recently reviewed messaging permissions in our LMS following an incident where a student sent an unsolicited mass email to the broader university community. While the message was course-related, this ability to message users beyond course rosters raised concerns about platform misuse, data privacy, and operational consistency. Currently, Brightspace's default configuration allows all users to contact individuals outside their enrolled courses through the email tool feature. This functionality presents risks related to spam, miscommunication, and unintended exposure of email addresses. Approved Change CUNY leadership has approved a system-wide configuration change to restrict the email tool feature for all Brightspace roles, including students, faculty, staff, and teaching assistants. Users will retain messaging functionality within their course (via the Classlist), preserving necessary academic communication channels. This change supports our institutional goals of minimizing unsolicited messaging risks, enhancing privacy and FERPA compliance, and standardizing messaging protocols across all campuses. Implementation and Impact This change will be implemented centrally without requiring additional tools or integrations. Please note that colleges that have hidden the Classlist tool should be aware that this may inadvertently disable student messaging. To reverse this, instructors can customize their NavBar to make the Classlist visible again. The Office of Academic Affairs will coordinate with CIS to update all documentation and support materials accordingly. This change will be implemented on Friday, April 11th. Reference: [?docx icon] Background Document on this decision<https://cuny907.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/OfficeofAcademicTechnology/EdW6hCGUzV1…>.

From: Patricia Price <patricia.price(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 9:10 AM To: QC Chairs Spring 2025 <qcchairs(a)CUNY907.onmicrosoft.com> Cc: Bobbie Kabuto <Bobbie.Kabuto(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Daniel Weinstein <Daniel.Weinstein(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Kate Pechenkina <Kate.Pechenkina(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Simone Yearwood <Simone.Yearwood(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Aruna Mahadeo <Aruna.Mahadeo(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Maria DeLongoria <Maria.Delongoria(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Mary Ann Simeone-Watch <mary.simeonewatch(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Patrick O'Connell <Patrick.Oconnell(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Jay Hershenson <Jay.Hershenson(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Frank Wu <Frank.Wu(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Dennis Cohen <Dennis.Cohen(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: International travel advisement and resources from CUNY Dear colleagues: Please see the message below, from CUNY's Director of Global Education and Initiatives. Please distribute as appropriate to faculty and staff in your area. Thank you, Patricia -------------- Dear All, Based on guidance from Citizenship Now!, I'm reaching out to ask that you work with your respective Provost's office to ensure that faculty and staff planning travel abroad are informed about resources available to them. Although individuals with a connection to a country in the anticipated travel ban<https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/us/politics/trump-travel-ban.html?unlock…> (delay notwithstanding) are the immediate priority, information about export control, re-entry and secondary inspection, and securing electronic devices applies more broadly. Since being denied re-entry to the U.S. would impact an employee's ability to return to their duties, this guidance applies regardless of whether travel is personal or professional. 1. Legal resources for non-U.S. citizen faculty and staff planning travel abroad: a. J-1 visa: please refer to your campus RO/DSO. b. All other non-U.S. citizen faculty and staff (B visas, Legal Permanent Residents, etc.): Refer to Citizenship Now! To ensure a quick response, they should email citizenshipnowinfo(a)cuny.edu<https://citizenshipnowinfo/> and (important!) put "CUNY faculty/staff" in the subject line. Although phone numbers are listed on the Citizenship Now! website, we do not recommend using them at this time. 1. Recommendations for all CUNY faculty and staff planning international travel: *: broadly applicable to all CUNY faculty and staff **: specific to non-U.S. citizen employees a. Remind employees to allow sufficient time to ensure compliance with all applicable export control regulations. (CUNY export control site<https://www.cuny.edu/research/research-compliance/export-control/>)* b. Recommend that employees register their travel with CUNY-GO<https://forms.office.com/r/DCfaYkD08j>.* c. Remind employees about the possibility of enhanced secondary screening upon re-entry to the U.S.* d. Share this handout about electronic device searches at U.S. ports of entry<https://www1.cuny.edu/sites/global/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/media-assets…> and emphasize the importance of securing devices before departure.* e. Recommend employees designate a trusted U.S.-based contact who will monitor their flight's progress, confirm re-entry, and will notify your campus Public Safety office if re-entry cannot be confirmed.* [At your Provost Office's discretion, you may offer to monitor the re-entry of travelers at higher risk directly].** f. Re-entry delays of non-U.S. citizens should be immediately flagged to citizenshipnowinfo(a)cuny.edu<mailto:citizenshipnowinfo@cuny.edu> with "CUNY faculty/staff stuck at [airport code]" in the subject line; please cc monique.francis(a)cuny.edu<mailto:monique.francis@cuny.edu> and kimberly.holland(a)cuny.edu<mailto:kimberly.holland@cuny.edu>.** Patricia Price, PhD (she/her/hers) Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Queens College, City University of New York [Professional Staff Congress | Queens College] [cid:fdd87ab3-4702-449c-82eb-fafa7dea25ff]
