As some faculty members add course specific Calendar entries in Blackboard CE 6.1.1, those entries are showing up as institutional entries that appear on everyone’s Calendar. According to Blackboard Support, the fix for this problem is in Application Pack 2 (CE 6.2), which has not been released so it has not been tested yet by JCCC’s technical support staff. Until the fix is released and tested, we’ll need to periodically run a script provided by Blackboard that deletes these "fake" institutional entries, but the actual cure won’t be in place until Fall semester (at the earliest) when we install AP 2.
If you see institutional entries that are confusing to your students (JCCC issues no institutional entries at this point), let me know and we’ll schedule the script to be run again to clear those entries.

Glad to see we're not the only school to experience this. We thought we had the wrong setting turned on in our institutional admin area. So far we've only had 3 such postings, but I've requested the script from BB. We're also hoping to install App2 between summer and fall classes.
