Policy on Web Content Control

Systems and Computer Engineering
Policy on Control of Web Site
August 22, 1997

In response to questions about who controls the content of our web site, here is a statement of the department policy on this matter. In each case, the person listed is responsible for the content of the relevant web pages, and has write access for those pages. As expected, the system administrator also has write access for all pages, but must defer to the responsible person on questions of content.

General Department pages:
Department Chair or designate
Undergraduate Studies pages:
Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies
Graduate Studies pages:
Associate Chair for Graduate Studies or Graduate Policy.
Professor, Staff, Research Staff, Graduate Student pages:
the top level pages:
-- System Administrator maintains these so that a consistent appearance is maintained. Professor, Staff, Research Staff or Graduate Student can request the addition of links from that page.
lower level pages:
-- the appropriate Professor, Staff, Research Staff, or Graduate Student. Graduate students should see the Guidelines for Graduate Student Web Pages
Course pages:
the professor offering the course. Course should be linked from the standard course directory maintained by the System Administrator.
Laboratory pages:
the Laboratory head.
A note about non-existing links: please do not ask the System Administrator to create a link until the relevant page is complete. Such non-existing links create a bad impression.
