I believe I totally disagree with the McLallen post. It is true the media
is dominated with the issue of the Hillary e-mails but this is a legitimate
records management issue as we try to grapple with the issue of electronic
records. I don't read every post but I believe Peter is simply sharing
what appears online and it has sparked locally questions about should
university presidents and employees utilize private accounts on e-mail
which may or may not be public records. Of course the Florida Governor
issue about use of private e-mail and the resulting lawsuits for public
records by the Associated Press and others also reflects this issue. I
don't see these postings as political at all, but as a historian, nearly
everything is political.
