These revisions to University Policy 601.1, Use of University Supplies, Equipment, Technology, Phones, and Other Resources, are intended to comply with statutory requirements enacted in June 2024 regarding viewing pornographic material on University devices or networks. (See N.C. General Statute §143-805 on p. 6 of H971.)
The revisions to University Policy 302, Website Standards, are intended to integrate comprehensive website governance across the University website’s ecosystem to align with the overarching objectives of the web redesign project. This shift aims to foster a cohesive digital presence that reflects the institution's values, enhances user experience, and ensures consistency and accuracy across all online platforms. By implementing a more robust website governance policy, the University can streamline web content management processes, uphold branding standards, and improve accessibility and user experience. Embracing this change underscores the University's commitment to innovation and excellence in its digital initiatives, ultimately empowering stakeholders to effectively engage with the institution's online resources.

Combining them into one newly rewritten University Policy is intended to provide the University community with a “one stop shop” to find guidance on the appropriate use of University space, including space reservations; priority for the use of space; restricted and instructional space; major events; expressive activity not requiring reservations; distribution of materials; postings, chalking, banners, and signs; sales and solicitation; and structures.
