This begs the question - What Is The Official Pages? If I serve up a ist of
faculty, their research interests, and information on our graduate program,
is that official? What if I don't include course information?
Is my own homepage, which is on an NIU computer, and includes my affiliation
with this fine institution, considered Official?
If I put up a reprint of a paper (assuming I have appropriate copyright
approval) of mine, of research done at NIU, is that official?
If the answer to any of these is YES, then I have a real problem with this
new homepage review business.
If the College wants to put up an Official home page of its departments, etc
that's fine. If they want us to put up an Official home page - then they better
provide all of the resources to do this. But at NO time should there by any
infringement upon what an individual department puts up on there own server.
And by the way, the campus administration had better get its act together
soon on this - the number of web sites on campu is exploding - there are now
three in chemistry alone!
