The following procedures will be administered by the Executive Director of Digital Marketing in instances of non-compliance with the University Web Policy and potential requests for arbitration.
Non-compliance Procedure
The responsible party for web pages that do not comply with the University Web Policy will be notified of the issues via email and have 15 business days to make corrections. If corrections are not made, the web pages may be unlinked from the broader University website network until modifications are made to bring the non-compliant pages into compliance. The Executive Director of Digital Marketing has the authority to initiate this action.
In cases of legal compliance or where there is significant harm to Michigan Tech's brand, the web pages may be immediately taken down through the use of a redirect to a related, compliant web page.
Arbitration Procedure
The Executive Director of Digital Marketing, departmental web developer(s), web liaison(s), web vendor(s), department head/director, and related parties are encouraged to work together to resolve non-compliance issues. Most problems can be resolved in this way.
If non-compliance issues cannot be resolved, the arbitration procedure will be followed:
- The responsible party must complete the University Web Policy Arbitration Request form.
- The Executive Director of Digital Marketing will appoint an arbitration panel of four to six campus web liaisons and set up a time and place to meet with the involved parties. This initial meeting will take place within 15 business days.
- The arbitration panel will attempt to negotiate a compromise that addresses the concerns of the various parties while also serving the needs of the University. The arbitration panel's findings will be rendered within 15 business days of the final meeting and are final.
