Was going to send this out but I guess you beat me to it! I went back and re-read the Yale thread (when this happened at Yale), and while I wholly disagree with it - I think that even though I use Gmail, the choice is what's important - the general reaction I've heard is "thank god, NYU's email is terrible." Which it is - and I, like many others, forward my NYU email to my Gmail - but that's my choice. It's also going to save the school a ton of money (around 400k a year, apparently?) so that's a huge motivator/NYU is cheap.
So the CS/math department has their own emails, but they're maintained separately so my guess is that they won't move. I was thinking about taking the same route as Adi and writing an Op-Ed w/ SFC NYU about it, but I haven't really come up with any other possibilities..what are others' thoughts?
