Presbyterian College > Academic Web Server > Support > Web Page Policy
Having a personal web page hosted on a server in the presby.edu domain is a privilege, not a right.
You are responsible for the content of your personal web pages. Presbyterian College does not preview or edit personal web pages. However, you must adhere to the following general rules in developing your pages.
Personal web pages must not contain illegal material. This includes (among other things) text, images or programs which are copyrighted by other people, unless the copyright owners have given permission for you to use their material on the WWW. You must be prepared to produce a statement of permission if asked.
Personal web pages must indicate clearly who is responsible for their content. Each page must contain your name and e-mail address (*), and include a link to the responsibility statement which is located at http://web.presby.edu/rs.html.
(*) You may disguise your e-mail address lightly, for example as "jschmoe at presby dot edu", so that it cannot be easily harvested by spammers' Web-spidering robots, but can still be read by humans.
Personal web pages must not interfere with the normal operation of the server or the campus network as a whole. This may happen, for example, if you consume a large amount of disk space, or if many people access your pages, retrieve large images, etc. If some or all of your pages consume a large amount of the server's resources or the capacity of our network link, you may be asked to remove them.
Personal web pages must not be used for commercial gain. If you are running a business (sales, consulting, etc.) on the side, you should get a commercial account to serve web pages dealing with your business. You may have a link from your personal web pages to your commercial web pages, but the latter should not reside in the presby.edu domain.
Because personal web pages on this server contain presby.edu as part of their URLs, they inevitably reflect your affiliation with Presbyterian College, notwithstanding your responsibility for their content. Therefore, they should not contain material which undermines the College's statement of purpose and its character as a church-affiliated institution. This includes material which is highly offensive, profane, vulgar or abusive.
