CALL TO ACTION
Leaders of the House Committee on Education and Labor have just introduced
legislation to control illegal file sharing in higher education as part of the
College Opportunity and Affordability Act of 2007. The higher education
community opposes a provision that requires campuses to develop new
institutional plans for addressing infringement activities on their networks.
Please call (do not write or email) the offices of the House Committee on
Education and Labor. Time is short. Markup is this coming Wednesday, November
14, at 9:00 AM.
For specific details please see our talking points
<http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/word/CSD5172.doc >.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
1. Coordinate your response to this challenge with your institutional
executives and federal relations officers.
2. Call, do not write or email, as many of the Committee Members as possible,
and express your strong opposition to this proposal. You can find a list of
all the Committee members and their phone numbers
at<http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/phone.pdf >.
Remember, if your campus representative is a member of this committee, you
have special influence. We request that you make every effort to contact their
office! When calling, ask for the staff member in charge of higher education
and leave a voice mail if necessary. Call back later and try to speak directly
with a staff member.
For copies of the relevant legislative language and template responses for
your use, please see <http://www.educause.edu/p2pfs>.
Thank you for your help!
