By e-mailing students directly, without going through a lawyer or the university, she produced unnecessary stress and confusion for students.

Gogan said that recycled paper has advantages, as it is more opaque than virgin paper, and drawbacks since its content can be unknown. But Gogan said the differences are slight. Gogan added that the U.S. government has been using 30 percent recycled paper since 1996 to print items such as treasury notes and postage stamps.
