The world wide web is the fastest growing means of providing information at Castleton. The web offers a great opportunity, but also a new set of challenges. Currently the web is monitored by one person as a part of a much larger job. In general, the college provides accurate information describing the responsibilities of both student and institution in its publications. Conditions and opportunities available at the college are accurately portrayed.
Content is reviewed regularly and is revised annually.
Currently, there is no policy requiring a central review for content and style and there is concern that the foundation publications, the college undergraduate and graduate catalogues, are poorly organized and written in such a way as to provide communication obstacles to the reader. The Registrar is in charge of the process that produces the undergraduate catalogue, but has no control over the content. There are at least eight administrators plus the 15 Department Chairs who provide copy for the catalogue, but this group does not have a standard format that they use to organize that information. Furthermore there is no one or group responsible for developing and overseeing a standardization process. Parts are changed, added or deleted with the approval of faculty assembly.
