Dear Fehmeeda
We were hoping to undertake a similar initiative, with regard to both
staff and students - however, it has proven at the present time to be
too difficult, as we have been advised by our Web Team that we
would need a person to be constantly monitoring the site for
inappropriate usage eg offensive comments (the technical term we
were given was a 'moderator'). Consequently, we have had to put
this on hold, while we explore the implications further. If you would
like to discuss this further, please contact me, tel 0161 200 8896.
Best Wishes
Andrea Davies, Equality and Diversity Manager, UMIST
