Over the summer, too many email have come from the university corporately which have caused spasms of confusion, worry and doubt among students. Talking about a "return to campus" in a headline is atrocious communicating when in the full explanation you go on to say that all lectures will be online and only a few activities for a small number of courses will be on campus. Students need plain language emails with the key messages up front, they shouldn't be made to struggle to figure out simple news. The priority for communicaiton should be clarity and understanding, not appearance.
This idea proposes two policies:
that the university corporately send no further emails to the student body before sharing them with the Student President
that all departments do likewise with the appointed student Department Rep for their department
...so that they may offer advice on clarity and succinctness of message in the content of the email (or other communication method) before they are sent to students.
