Listservs

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life moderates three listservs:

LGBT-L@tulane.edu is a listserv for the Tulane Community. Students, faculty and staff interested in staying informed about events and opportunities are invited to join .

QLA-L@tulane.edu is an intercampus listserv for queer campus leaders and activists throughout Louisiana . This list currently includes representatives from several different schools, as well as representatives from a number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-focused community organizations.

QFS-L@tulane.edu is a listserv for Tulane faculty and staff only. (Some faculty and staff members choose to join both this list and the LGBT-L list. QFS-L is a lower volume list. Typically, events postings get sent out on the LGBT-L list, while the QFS-L is mainly for discussion and networking among colleagues from different departments.)

Listserv FAQs:
How do I join?
Simply send an email to listserv@tulane.edu
Leave the subject line blank In the body of the message, write: SUBSCRIBE Listname Firstname Lastname (For example, if Joe Schmoe wanted to join the general Tulane list, he would send an email that said, “SUBSCRIBE LGBT-L@tulane.edu Joe Schmoe” …but without quotation marks.)
 

Are there restrictions on who can join the lists?
LGBT-L is open to any Tulane student, faculty or staff member.
Membership in QLA-L is generally restricted to people who are in some way representatives of LGBT campus organizations in Louisiana.
QFS-L is for Tulane faculty and staff only.
Feel free to email lgbt@tulane.edu if you’re not sure which list to join.

Who will see my name if I join?
Carolyn Barber-Pierre and Kim Echols moderates all three lists. When you initially subscribe, she gets an automated email with your name on it. After that point, membership is anonymous. We will not share your information with any other person or department without your permission. Your email address will not even be visible to other people on the list.

I know of an LGBT event. Can I post my own announcement to the list?
Yes, you may post messages and announcements by sending an email directly to the listserv address. All messages are automatically sent to the list moderator for approval before they post to members of the group. In order for a message to be approved, it must be applicable to the membership of the list to which it is addressed, related to queer life, and open to all members of the list. You may also send messages directly to lgbt@tulane.edu for approval.
