If you are not currently getting email from us and would like to, please send your email address to pfinn@ccs.carleton.ca or cuasa@carleton.ca. PLEASE NOTE: If mail from your account bounces back to the listserve address you are automatically unsubscribed. The CUASA office does not have the resources to track down every bounce and find out the reasons for it. For those faculty that are going away for the summer, it might be better if they made arrangements to forward their mail or be unsubscribed from the CUASA list to avoid this problem. For faculty who are heading off on sabbatical and want mail sent to another eddress, please notify the CUASA office at one of the addresses above. HOUSING NOTICES CUASA provides a list of housing notices as a service to its members. Notices must be submitted to the CUASA office in writing, either by mail, by fax or by email. Housing notices will not be accepted over the phone. CUASA cannot guarantee the placement of notices. Previous issues are available on the web at the CUASA Web page under the heading CUASA Resources.
