Employees roaming is interesting. Employers watching is worrisome. An increasing number of colleagues (at my institution and elsewhere) have expressed concerns that their chairs, deans, and/or provosts have gotten access to their campus-based mail accounts, including citing specific phrases that they believed they had used only in private communications.
