subscribe TOMPAINE Your Name

and send it to: listproc@sun.soci.niu.edu

#############################################################
TOMPAINE is an electronic discussion list open to faculty and staff
members of the NIU Community. This newsgroup provides a forum for members
of the NIU community to share their insights on events affecting
both the university as a place of work and as an institution
of higher education.

The purpose of the forum is to electronically emulate the
discussions that take place at faculty and staff clubs in universities with
such
facilities. Topics discussed will include discussions on NIU policies --
insurance, health coverage, admission standards, general education -- as
well as news events that have an impact on the overall community.

The forum is unmoderated, allowing people both the responsibility and freedom
to share whatever insights they choose. The forum provides an open
medium for sharing complaints about problems on the campus and suggestions
on how to resolve such problems
