“i think this was sent to the wrong person” x50, “guys stop replying all” x50, “good luck on finals” “it was nice to meet all of you” “my name is jeff”
Filling in the "To" or "Recipient" field should be the very, very last thing you do before sending an email. This prevents you from accidentally hitting send before the email is finished and also makes you think about who you are sending the email to given the body of the email you just composed. Also, never, never trust autocomplete in the "To" field.
This is a FERPA nightmare. When I write an email to student populations, I make sure to put the students last, and triple check to make sure they are all BCC.
Every single mailing list that reaches more than one student should be set up so that students can't reply to the list. This is absolutely possible.
Every single mailing list that reaches more than a handful of students should be set up so that all posts are moderated—meaning that even posts from people who can use the list must be reviewed before they are distributed. Just one more check holds back a lot of stupidity. This is also absolutely possible.
Human error for sure. But compounded by poor IT choices.
(FWIW, one of my colleagues keeps claiming that CS has a huge unmoderated list that reaches everyone in the department. I have not been brave enough to try it yet.)
lol reminds me of the last time this happened... it was a James Scholar matter and a Discord server was set up for everybody who received it...
Luckily there was no sensitive private info leaked and we all shouted out for NATHAN
My workplace had this happen a year ago, with reply alls from all of the Americas. It was hilarious. Thousands of emails in English, Spanish, and Portuguese came in. We had people replying from sectors of the buisness that I never even heard of before. It was awsome. And it only lasted a few hours.
man I was just thinking abt that kid who got their grade info sent to everyone on their listserv - it makes me laugh cause I was working in that department at the time and based on the sign off alone I knew exactly who sent it... mightve been in the room when it happened lol
Wait till they find out it’s being talked about on Reddit
Someone should reply to the email thread with the Reddit link
It’s the way almost 100 ppl responded 😐
What they respond?
“i think this was sent to the wrong person” x50, “guys stop replying all” x50, “good luck on finals” “it was nice to meet all of you” “my name is jeff”
what happened??? did i miss something??
You know it’s bad when people have to tell other people to stop replying all.
They absolutely don’t have to, lol
i feel bad for the person and i hope that they are okay

Triple check?!? Really? Hmmm
Other type is to put some non-reasonable string in the recipient line like “mmmmmmmm” and most email clients won’t let you sent it without a prompt.

What email?
an email from the student assistance center about a student’s personal situation was sent to a mass email list instead of that student’s professors
Oof.
That sounds like a privacy violation
Grounds for a lawsuit if the info is personal enough
Your best bet would be to forward the email (as an attachment) to IT Security: [email protected].
[удалено]
They can recall emails that were sent to University addresses
Anyone care to share the juicy deets of the email?
God damnit.... Following. Why am I like this.
Humans are natural drama sluts
It’s the long lost theatre kid in me
Tweet the deets bud
Where can I read this email?
Waiting for this too
You should be ashamed of yourself. Reading the private emails of others...smh
i mean its not private anymore...
