The TIPEC listserv provides opportunities for TIPEC members to network, exchange ideas, share experiences, suggest collaborations, and problem-solve the challenges of interprofessional education and practice.
Note that the TIPEC Board of Directors will not use the listserv to communicate with members — if you choose not to sign up for the listserv, you will still receive emails sent out to the membership.
We believe that the listserv can be a powerful tool for helping us collaborate and communicate across the state. To ensure that the listserv is a positive experience for everyone, please review the following guidelines.
Guidelines for the TIPEC Listserv Use
- The TIPEC listserv may not be used for the sale of services or products, but members may make suggestions in direct response to a posted question such as recommending the use of a specific assessment or naming a company where a product may be found.
- The listserv may not be used to recruit research participants or post surveys.
- The listserv may not be used to distribute programs materials used for promotion of the programs such as newsletters etc.
- Do not post any information or other material protected by copyright without the permission of the copyright owner. An exception to this is that it is possible to quote a portion of copyrighted material where it is quoted in connection with a scholarly analysis, research, or comment on the work.
- Do not post messages if they encourage or facilitate members to arrive at any agreement that either expressly or impliedly leads to price fixing, a boycott of another’s business, or other conduct intended to or that results in illegally restricting free trade.
- Do not facilitate or engage in inappropriate discussions relating to people, entities, products, costs, rumors, and other similar matters. Information posted on the lists is available for all to see, and comments are subject to libel, antitrust, and a variety of other laws.
- Maintain professional standards and common courtesy in e-mail messages, avoiding the use of insults, slander, profanity, or obscenities. Do not divulge confidential information or information that may cause harm to a student or patient/client (e.g., any information that would violate with HIPAA or FERPA). Review postings before sending, especially on topics which may be controversial as hastily composed, unclear messages can easily be misinterpreted.
- Restrict discussions to topics best suited to the medium. Only send a message to the entire list when it contains information from which everyone can benefit.
- Clearly state the specific topic of the comments in the subject line to allow members to respond more appropriately and for automatic message archiving.
- Include a signature tag on all messages. Include your name, affiliation, location, and e-mail address.
- Do not send messages such as “thanks for the information” or “me, too” to the entire list; these are messages for individuals. To send a message to an individual, forward the message, then type in the email address of the individual to whom you want to respond.
- Do not post anything that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you, as the discussions are meant to stimulate conversation, not create contention.
TIPEC retains the right to remove any messages that violate the above guidelines or otherwise does not meet the stated purposes of the listserv,
Anyone who is offended by any message, or who finds that any message violates these guidelines should report the message to info@tipec.org
