External access to staff contact details

Please note that this policy has not yet been revised or converted to the new format .

Preamble

This policy relates to the provision of Monash staff contact details (email address or internal telephone number) to entities outside Monash University via a search facility. At present, the Monash University home page http://www.monash.edu.au does not provide any way for an external (non-Monash) user to search the Monash directory for the contact details of a Monash staff member. Instead, they are provided with a page, which will attempt to find a possible Monash user and send them an email message (without revealing the email address for this user). This is a significantly reduced service relative to all other Australian universities and makes it harder for Monash staff to be contacted. This in turn reflects negatively on Monash as a whole.

Purpose

This policy will remove these restrictions and enable non-Monash users to search for contact details (email address or telephone number) for Monash staff and see the results of that search.
