In the context of creating a web presence with guidance, what recommended actions are we hitting with this? Is it risks and impact and educating end users? Also can touch on the ECT conflict and ambiguities and the individual responsibilities elements. Acceptance of terms is really focussed on the authority to agree. Is there a way to make faculty recognize that they can not sign on behalf of the University because these are commercial entities. How best to inform faculty that they are signing on behalf of themselves, and not the University. Can anyone name an instance in these sorts of services where you would be signing on behalf of the Regents? That is a much more administrative kind of arrangement. Probably not. In a sense they are acting on behalf of the University, but not really. What about Google Apps for Ed licensing, which does not include Google Plus, which also does not include Google Hangouts. UCSC document does the best job of explaining what is, and is not, included in the core service governed by the systemwide Google Apps agreement. With Google Hangouts at the institution, then Hangouts can be covered as part of the Google chat service (Google Talk) - so ends up being a very grey area about what is covered under the terms of the agreement and what is not. Would we also offer to provide optional guidance to students who do not want to participate? Yes, definitely, and very prominently. That can drive faculty to our organizations to find out what the alternatives might be. We can help them with figuring that part out.
