We must remove old information from Web sites and try to define a graphic standard to be maintained. The owners of the information must be made aware of their responsibility to remove the outdated material. The university could enforce the cleaning up of sites, but the ideal would be that everyone be made aware of their responsibility. The information could be publicized to users and the university could refrain from creating cyber cops. The issue is then training versus regulating.
Some individuals prefer tight controls of information others believe in individual responsibility.
Dr. Low closed the session by saying that society has become nuts about controls. He stated that we are a university and therefore should promote and educate ourselves about the responsibilities of information ownership. There is clearly a lot to learn about this responsibility, but the last thing he wants is a community of cyber cops. Principles are at stake and he believes that the more information a society has, the better off it is. The last resort should be to restrict information.
