Your web pages reflect positively or negatively on the
College and on yourself. When you put material on the World-Wide Web, you
are publishing it for anybody in the world to read. Although Haverford takes no
responsibility for any information provided by individuals in personal home pages,
people outside the community (including high school students applying to Haverford,
their parents, and Haverford alumni) will still connect these materials with Haverford.
It is expected that all individuals producing personal pages will keep this fact
in mind and maintain their pages accordingly. Additionally, materials on your
pages reflect on you, and may be viewed by prospective employers, colleagues,
your parents, or anybody else.
Include information about your work. Including information
about academic interests and research projects will help project a positive impression
to graduate schools, prospective employers, prospective Haverford students, etc.
Think twice before placing personal information on your
pages. Again, your home page is open to anybody in the world with a computer
and an Internet connection. Publishing personal information such as your address
or telephone number may attract unwanted attention. If you would like to solicit
feedback, providing your email address is probably the best way to do so.
Respect the privacy of others. Do not provide information
about other people without their knowledge and consent.
Content of web pages must reflect current state and federal
laws, as well as Haverford College policies. Haverford respects the rights
of individuals to express themselves freely and will, in general, not exercise
any control over the contents of individual home pages. However, content which
is prohibited by state or federal law, such as copyrighted materials used without
permission (including software which is not available for free public distribution)
or obscene materials, will not be tolerated and may cause your home page to be
removed from the system. Home page content is also subject to campus standards
and regulations already in place, such as the Honor Code and JSAAP. Any violations
of these policies will be dealt with in accordance with the procedures already
in place for such situations.
Personal pages must not contain commercial materials.
By definition, personal home pages contain material that is not directly related
to College business. However, this is not meant to include any activity of a commercial,
for-profit nature. As with any College-supplied resource, personal pages are not
to be used for personal gain. If you would like to use the Web for commercial
purposes, you can buy space from any number of commercial providers.
Personal pages are for your use only. The ability
to create personal pages is granted via the same password access used for electronic
mail. In keeping with long-standing policy, you are not allowed to share your
password with anybody else, and you must be the only person to use the space provided.
The amount of space allocated for home pages is limited.
Due to resource constraints, the amount of space available for individual home
pages is limited. Additional space will be granted only in the most unusual circumstances.
Support for personal home pages is limited. Since
personal pages are by definition not official college business, support is limited.
Occasional classes covering basics will be offered, but in general people wishing
to create personal pages must be prepared to experiment and use Internet documentation
on their own when problems arise.
Student home pages are provided only to enrolled students.
As with e-mail accounts, students who have graduated, are on leave, or who are
otherwise not enrolled in the College, will have their personal home pages deleted.
If a student graduating or going on leave wants copies of their web pages, they
must copy their web files onto disk before their account expires.
