UNIVERSITY OF NORTH FLORIDA
POLICY
DIVISION:
Office of the President
DEPARTMENT:
Institutional Advancement/Office of News and Publications
SUBJECT:
Developing and Publishing Web Pages
OBJECTIVE & PURPOSE:
To set standards for publishing Web pages at the University of North Florida.
AUTHORITY:
Approved by President's Council, November, 2002.
POLICY:
The World Wide Web is an important medium that can and should be
used to inform, educate, communicate and promote the University of
North Florida to its internal and external constituents including
students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, benefactors,
legislative bodies and the general public. It is in the interest
of the University that all units adhere to the highest standards
of quality and responsibility in the development and presentation
of web-based material while promoting a consistent image and brand
identity to its publics. Therefore individual University units
developing web pages which carry the University of North Florida
name or logos are responsible for complying with all policies and
guidelines of the University, all state and federal laws ( See attached
list) as well as the accuracy and currency of the information presented.
PROCEDURE:
All newly developed or substantially revised Official University Web
Pages (See definitions attached) must be reviewed and approved by the
University Visual Identity Standards Committee to assure compliance
with the UNF Visual Identity Guidelines, the UNF Web Policy and the
UNF Web Styleguide. Publishers of new and substantially revised Official
University Web Pages have the responsibility for seeking review by the
committee before the pages become "live" and are available for viewing
by the public.
Newly developed or existing Official University Web pages found to
be in violation of policies or guidelines will be notified of the
violation by the committee and asked to correct deficiencies. Failure
to correct deficiencies within a reasonable time (60 days) may result
in the page being removed from all links to UNF Official University
Web pages. All decisions of the Visual Identity Standards Committee
may be appealed to the President.
DEFINITIONS:
The University recognizes three classifications of web
page ownership: Official Web Pages, Academic Web Pages and
Personal Web Pages.
Official Web Pages
Official Web Pages of the University shall include
the University's Home Page, related pages, and the main
pages of all colleges, divisions, departments, and other
units of the University. An official page speaks for the
University of North Florida and its colleges, divisions,
departments, and other units.
The University's Home Page is the page that is accessed
by the url http://www.unf.edu/.
A Unit is an officially constituted college, division,
department, program, or committee of the University
including faculty, employee, student government, and
alumni associations.
Academic Web Pages
Academic Web Pages are pages that present information
relating to University curricula. Academic Web Pages do
NOT present the University Catalog, the University Course
Schedule Booklet, or other documents that fall within
the definition of a Official University Pages.
Academic Web Pages consist of all curriculum materials
not on Official University Pages. Examples of Academic
Web Pages include, but are not limited to: course outlines,
course schedules, course syllabi, course handouts, learning
activities, assignment sheets, on-line textbooks, quizzes,
and other course materials including multimedia materials,
and discussion group transcripts.
Publishers of Academic Web Pages may be individual
faculty members, a group of faculty members, academic
departments, academic units (e.g., special programs),
and Academic Affairs. Since Academic Web Pages present
University curricula, these pages are ultimately the
responsibility of the faculty and governed by faculty
assemblies, e.g., the Faculty Association.
Personal Web Pages
Personal Web Pages shall include personal pages of students,
faculty, staff, and officially recognized student clubs
or organizations (with the exception of the Student Government
Association). These individuals and groups are encouraged
to publish on the WWW in accordance with the policies
and guidelines.
Applicable rules and policies
Official, Academic, and Personal Web Pages must comply
with the University's Network Acceptable Use Policy
[i.e., the pages must comply with all applicable Federal,
State, and local laws and regulations, including, but
not limited to copyright, trademark and licensing laws,
commercial discrimination (Chapter 540, F.S.), the Florida
Computer Crimes Act (Chapter 815, F.S.), State obscenity
laws (Chapter 847, F.S.), and all Florida Board of Education
and University rules, policies, and procedures. Existing
University policies applicable to the use of computing
and information technology resources, University logos,
trademarks, and other indicia of the University, and standards
of behavior (e.g., sexual harassment policy, disruptive
behavior, academic integrity code, use of campus facilities,
student conduct code, personnel rules and policies) are
incorporated in this policy by reference.]
