Re: in-college discussion group

[Rick Stevens]

I administer a small list related to a lecture series here.  There are 
around 70 members.  There isn't a lot of activity, it is used largely to 
notify members of upcoming events.  It is set to allow only members and 
it notifies me of spam, which I have to delete manually.  I set up a web 
page for the series http://www.ulm.edu/~stevens/nexus/ which has a link 
to the list's membership page.  When people want to join or leave I 
first refer them to that address.  When they sign up it sends a monthly 
reminder of their password and how to get off the list or set options.  
It's not too much trouble.

At a recent faculty meeting it was suggested that an online discussion group
might be helpful to the faculty.
I teach at a small college where all faculty members are adjunct.  Since
we're all adjunct, there's not much hanging around and none of us have
offices.  It's a state college with an emphasis on adult learners, with
small, mostly night classes.  Since the classes are held in a
one-night-a-week forum (3 1/2 hours each), we usually get to know only the
others who teach a class on the same night.  Many meet each other only at
the occasional "faculty forums"  which most enjoy a lot, sharing suggestions
and problems, but then not seeing each other again for months.
I told them about TIPS and they thought a discussion group just for our
college faculty would be great.  So guess who volunteered to get it going...
Any suggestions from anyone?  (Bill, do you want to warn me to back out
NOW?)  Does anyone else have an active group just within the college?
