Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Scott Koranda <>]

Thanks Jim.

I assume the group in Google is used for, among other things, email
communication between students and the course instructor(s). Is that
correct?

Is there any concern that when the Google group is deleted the archive
of those email threads for the course is lost? Or is that just an
accepted constraint?

Thanks again,

Scott
