Whim Internet Magazine - Policy on Feedback Fora
Copyright © 2001
Section 1: Fora Intentions
The purpose of interactive and immediate feedback in any Whim forum is to
discover the true voice of Radford University students. While comments from
non-Radford contributors are welcome, we feel that the feedback fora are
essential to discovering what students really care about. In addition to
providing a place for public dialogue about issues, the fora can
ultimately show all points of view about a particular subject.
Section 2: The "Submit" Agreement
Users who post submissions to Whim's feedback forms must agree to the following statement:
"By clicking on "Submit," you assert that you are who you represent to be and your comments abide by section 20 of Radford's Student Handbook (for RU students), and by the Virginia State and Federal laws including but not limited to libel, copyright law, and invasion of privacy. The comments posted on this site are not necessarily representative of the views of Radford University, its administration, faculty, staff or all of its students."
Section 3: Editorial Authority
Whim reserves the right to remove on a weekly basis postings that violate any RU Student Handbook regulations and/or any local, state or federal laws. This includes, but is not limited to, material that is potentially in violation of libel, invasion of privacy and obscenity laws, as well as RU codes of conduct.
Section 4: Anonymity
4.1 In the interests of free and unfettered expression, users of Whim's feedback fora may remain anonymous if they so choose.
4.2 Whim executive staff reserve the right to monitor the origins of submissions in the event of illegal activity.
Section 5: Miscellaneous
Whim will clear all old postings at the start of each new semester for the purposes of site management.
