Web Standards Committee
What is it? And why was it created?
The Web Standards Committee (WSC) was created in 2007 to foster coherence of content, functionality, design and usability across UT Arlington´s official Web presence.
On approval of the President of the University, the committee establishes guidelines and standards, and recommends policies and procedures for the strategic and long-term evolution of the Web site and all of its components.
Several meetings of this committee have been held for the purpose of determining its goals and objectives, identifying membership, and determining next steps.
Specifically, the WSC will:
- Set and disseminate Web guidelines and standards and recommend policies and procedures for consideration by University administration
- Identify the roles and responsibilities regarding the Web presence of Office of Information Technology, University Communications, and individual departments
- Proactively identify and recommend tools for ongoing Web development, the use of emerging Web media, and managing Web presence
- Promote the use of technology standards and enterprise development tools
