A server for self-maintained Web pages

Aurora Window at Wells College


Statement of Responsibility

Aurora.wells.edu is a server for self-maintained Web pages that are not part of the official Wells College web site. It is essential that the distinction between official and unofficial be clear. All pages on  Aurora.wells.edu should have a statement of responsibility at the bottom stating who is responsible for the page and noting that the page does not implicitly or explicitly represent official positions and policies of Wells College. The statement should give the name and email address of a person, not just an organization or committee.
