I also have to agree with Michal here. The purpose of Facebook is one thing but I do not think it should be used for other purposes. And I back that with Chris, by saying there is a place for that and possible the homepage could be used for that p...
Unfortunately here at UT we have had to deal with this issue more than we would like to in the last three months. We had a student murdered walking home late from a party in August, a student killed in a hit and run on Friday, and another 3 studen...
Thank everyone for all of their responses. I hope this discussion will help future developers when it comes to researching calendars. We have purchased and are using the Helios calendar. Everyone seems to love it. It is not hard to set up but some...

We are about to implement Trumba calendaring for our events. Our admissions department is already using it. Here is a link to their calendar pages. I have found their support to be outstanding thus far.

http://www.phpbb.com/ is the best if your wanting to host it yourself.
Doesnt feedburner do that?
Lane and Melissa, thanks for the valuable input. Lane, your situation is especially valuable--to my knowledge we haven't had that problem here but it's worth watching out for. As you say, students have to be protected.
I appreciate all the feedba...
I have a little bit different view on this. I have been on the student side being contacted by a professor via Facebook, and now I'm on the side of helping make the policies.
I once took a 3 week class over winter break. The second day of class t...
I believe google calendar to be by far the best. You can have many contributors, people can subscribe, rss, click an event and add to their own calendar. Tons of features!

In keeping up with the latest trends I threw together a quick Google Wave page for the UCO College of Business Administration. (http://busn.uco.edu/wave)
So far as not many have access to Google Wave it is not highly used. Using some of the featu...
in the mean time, Telerik makes an editor that plays nicer with Macs. The support is tough though as it is entirely via email.
A place to discuss marketing tactics for admissions or development on the web in higher education, whether it be features on your website, blogs, boards, chat, email marketing, social networks, etc...
An adjunct to UWEBD. UWEBD has been in existence for more than 10 years and is the very best email discussion list on the Internet, in any industry, on any topic.
