bMail: Berkeley’s B-minus idea

Christopher Hoofnagle writes for The Daily Californian, March 18, 2013

CalMail appeared to be one of those poorly performing campus services best handled by a vendor…. And many other schools have outsourced their information technology services to Google and Microsoft. But if we think about this more deeply, we might conclude the opposite: Communications and information services are so critical to academic freedom that trusting them with an outside vendor can be problematic.
