Faculty and Staff,
I am contacting you in regard to the email below which was sent
recently by Jillian Dubman regarding the removal of the Faculty
Profile Website from the AS&E host.
The Physics and Astronomy Website Committee is happy to inform you
that we are able to offer each faculty and post-doc *up to* 5GB of
space on our existing department server to replace this website
opportunity. If you are interested in obtaining space to replace your
Faculty Profile site, let me know asap (reminder, the Profile site
goes down January 31, 2011) so that we can arrange for you to have
access. Please note…as with the Faculty Profile sites, these are your
responsibility. I will not have access to update or maintain them.
Once your new site is ready, you may then forward me the link and I
will gladly link it to our current department site/s.
If you are not at all comfortable with building and/or maintaining
websites, but would still like to have one, please come see me and we
can discuss how to move forward.
If you need any further information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Shannon

*Subject:* AS&E Faculty Profile Website
Dear Faculty Members,
In consultation with faculty members and administrators in both the
Schools of Arts and Sciences and of Engineering, I am planning some
changes to the AS&E Faculty Profile website
(http://ase.tufts.edu/faculty-guide/default.aspx), which hosts
biographical information about full-time faculty members. We have
found the current template on that site is limiting and the majority
of the information—current faculty in a department, photographs,
biographical data— is out-of-date. Indeed, the Faculty Profile website
is an after-thought that may be driving traffic away from department
websites, where the most accurate faculty information is usually housed.
Based on these observations, we concluded it would make the most sense
if the Faculty Profiles website no longer hosts individual faculty
member information. The list of departments will remain as the only
page associated with this website, and the individual links will bring
visitors to the corresponding department’s webpage devoted to faculty
information.
I want to ensure faculty members have enough time to update their
profiles on their department website before we make this change, which
will take effect on February 1, 2011. I appreciate your cooperation
with this initiative and thank you in advance for helping to keep our
department websites current.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!
Sincerely,
Jillian
