In the days before last Tuesday’s election, 25-year incumbent Rep. Lloyd Doggett’s campaign sent mass e-mails to UT students soliciting their votes. In the first e-mail, Doggett invoked his status as a Longhorn alumnus and former student body president while highlighting his stances on federal funding for high- er education. In the second e-mail, Doggett touted his recent Daily Texan endorsement and asked students to help him “put a spoonful of sugar in their bitter tea,” referring to his opponent, Dr. Donna Campbell. The only problem is that the vast majority of those e-mails were unsolicited. They were spam. According to both UT and Texas state law, spam is the sending of unsolicited e-mails to a large number of recipients. Those laws apply to both commercial and non-commercial messages. The University’s cri- teria for spam are very clear; according to Rules and Regulations of the Board of Regents, “if the recipient did not ask for it, did not sign up on a mailing list and did not provide an e-mail address on a Web form spe- cifically asking for information related to the content of the e-mail message, it is considered spam.” On an individual level, spam is annoying. It can illustration by Amelia Giller fill up your inbox with unwanted clutter, but it con- stitutes only a few seconds’ inconvenience to delete the messages. However, when amplified by the tens of thousands of UT students, faculty and staff, spam begins to place an enormous burden on the University’s technical in- frastructure.
