Excerpt
In recent months, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN SPAM or the Act) has come into play as this country's first legal weapon to control unsolicited commercial e-mail. While our organization supports this purpose, we are seeking your assistance in preventing CAN SPAM from eradicating the use of e-mail as an efficient, effective, and economical communications resource for educational institutions. With the fiscal crisis facing educational institutions today, we must rely more than ever on the ability to reach out to our alumni and friends for support. E-mail provides one of the best tools that educational institutions can use. It has proved to be a nonintrusive, inexpensive way to communicate with our growing list of alumni, friends, and other supporters with whom we have built relationships and engaged in the work of our schools. Unless our e-mail messages are reclassified as transactional or relationship messages under CAN SPAM, our schools will be deprived of the financial and other benefits earned from using e-mail to reach out to our academic communities.
