Web Page Standards
Missouri Association of Faculty
Senates (MAFS)
Voluntary Standards for Faculty Senate
Web Pages
There
is a great deal of variation between web sites of the public,
four-year colleges and universities in Missouri. Navigating those
sites to learn information about faculty policies and faculty
government is very often challenging for those not familiar with the
institution. In an attempt to facilitate access and use of Faculty
Senate and/or Council information, the Missouri Association of
Faculty Senates (MAFS) has developed these voluntary standards for
web information.
Several
institutional home pages give little guidance about where to proceed
to access faculty-related information. For maximum usefulness,
the institution’s home page should include a link, a search device,
or clear directions to the location of faculty information. At
the Faculty Senate home page, a user should be able to find the
following information:
Basic Information
-
A current
listing of Senate/Council officers, with contact information (and
e-mail link, if possible)
-
A listing of
a permanent contact person (such as a staff secretary), with contact
information (and e-mail link, if possible)
-
A listing of
the Senate’s current Voting Representative and Designated Alternate,
with contact information (and e-mail link, if possible)
-
A link to the MAFS home page, so that internal users might easily access
Associational information
-
A link to the
Faculty Handbook or similar document, if available on-line
-
Links to
important faculty-related institutional policies, such as tenure,
promotion, etc.
Additional Useful Information
Though not as
essential to external users, the following information might be
included, as possible.
-
The
Senate/Council Constitution
-
The
Senate/Council By-Laws
-
A listing of
the current members of the Senate/Council, with e-mail links, if
possible
-
The
Senate/Council meeting minutes or synopsis
-
Scheduled
meeting dates for the Senate/Council
-
The dates of
election of Senate/Council officers
