Content

The CPCS website conforms to the University of Massachusetts Boston website policy. The full umb.edu web policy can be seen here: http://www.umb.edu/web/policies/web_policy.html

In addition, all content is expected to be consistent with the CPCS mission, educational objectives, and academic policy, subject to approval (see below). The CPCS mission statement may be read at: http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/about/mission_statement.htm

Events which are appropriate for notice to be posted here are those which occur at, are sponsored by, or are participated in by people from CPCS (students, faculty, or staff).

Notices of news or events (e.g., in the Calendar, Faculty & Staff Support pages, or Student Support pages) are listed with the newest items at the top. Items come off the list when deadlines pass, or as they become irrelevant. There may be occasional purges of older announcements if necessary for space considerations.

Process

These web pages are periodically checked for accuracy. In addition, new pages and postings are reviewed for consistency with this policy.

The process for approval of posts is as follows:

1. The manager of the website interprets this policy.
2. A two person panel of the Website Editorial Policy Committee reviews submissions about which the website manager asks guidance, and hears appeals of her decisions. This panel rotates monthly, alphabetically by last name.
3. The full Website Editorial Policy Committee reviews submissions when asked by the 2 person panel, or when a decision of the 2 person panel is appealed.

In addition, any content which reflects or implies changes in policy or academic requirements is subject to approval by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
