California state universities are facing a budget crunch and no longer want to invest in student e-mail, said Amir Dabirian, vice president for information technology and chief technology officer at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). And many students don’t use campus e-mail — they use Gmail on their own. But e-mail is still one of the top ways that universities communicate with students, he said. With an education e-mail address, universities can easily communicate with students and give them access to information they couldn’t obtain with their personal Gmail account, such as research journals. By moving to Google Apps, universities offer more storage and features with an education address than they could on their own. And they’re saving time and money too.
