The CBED's e-mail server was down for a week, and there was never any formal communication about it from the Dean's office. Today the CBED was sent an e-mail from Homer Coffman about the situation. I saw the e-mail on a colleague's computer, and when mine is up I'll post it here (unless someone beats me to it). The gist of the e-mail is that Mr. Coffman is Acting Dean of CBED.

After re-reading biz eagle's post more carefully and looking at all of the replies, I think I see the "point" in biz eagle's post that we may have missed at first. Maybe biz eagle meant to convey that Homer Coffman is "acting" more like a Dean than the CBED's own Dean (Doty) is. Those more familiar with CBED than I might not think this too far fetched.
I believe HHH is right on the money. Of course a qualified dean (or associate dean for that matter) might believe it to be useful to keep people informed about what is going on with the email. Harold, particularly with the FOIA issue currently going on, did not see email to be an important issue.
