Web Governance

The University of Memphis encourages its units (colleges, divisions, departments, centers, organizations, etc.) and its individual account holders to participate in the World Wide Web (WWW or Web), not only by using it as a resource, but by creating their own Web pages as well. As with any work undertaken at the University, creating and maintaining Web pages should be performed with pride and should reflect favorably upon both the University and the page authors. These pages will be seen by WWW users the world over.

The university must obey laws and governing body regulations, create the most comfortable environment for the greatest number of university members, project a positive image, and communicate effectively. For these reasons, the U of M must govern the use of its Web resources. Listed below are links related to governance of Web pages at the U of M.

The University policies pertaining to Web sites will soon become an official university policy drafted and developed by the university and housed at the university's Policies and Procedures Web site. For details, the specific policy will be finalized soon.
