In attendance: Steve Blodgett, Pete Gilbert, Steve Hirby, Robert Lowe, Peter
Peregrine, Nancy Truesdell
Old Business
- Discussion of Access Restriction Issues
Hirby reprised the background. For administrative documents, it's pretty clear
who's responsible for deciding what should be posted and how it should be
restricted. For academic, committee or LUCC documents, it's less clear.
A lengthy discussion ensued in which FEPRA figured prominently.
Hirby will write up what we discussed, and after further discussion, will send
it to the Faculty Committee on University Governance and other groups affected.
New Business
- Accreditation feedback on Web site
The NCA team (or at least one member of it) had some advice to offer about
the Web site. Some of the things that came up included:
- relative dearth of faculty and student web pages
- lack of pictures on personal web pages
- the off-campus photos issue
- the (in)ability to track hits
- the pros and cons of having daily campus updates on the home page.
We look forward to receiving the team's report.
- Conservatory pages progress report
None.
Other business
Web-associated budgetary needs should be a future agenda item.
Hirby distributed a report from Evans regarding Web site performance in the
recent CLAC/Keynote test (reported in the February 1 meeting minutes).
Our Web site didn't do too badly.
