Censorship requests for Web site

[Jerilyn Veldof]

Hi folks.  Recently an administrator at the University brought to our 
attention that a student who had recently won a "Best HomePage Award" 
on the University-wide homepage had some really racey, "indecent" photos on 
his site which she thought should be taken off.  As a result the UAInfo 
Council decided we better get a procedure in place to deal with this kind 
of thing.  I suggested we create a form for complainers to fill out and state 
their issues which the council would then route to the appropriate office (i.e. 
Affirmative Action).  We might model it after the forms libraries have 
been using forever to deal with censorship requests.

Does anyone have this kind of form on their Web sites which I could look 
at?  In what other ways have folks dealt with censorship requests on the 
Web?  Do you delink homepages or do you go as far as kicking people off 
your servers?  Does anyone police their pages or do you 
just wait to see if someone complains?  Then what procedures do you follow?

Thanks for the input.  Jerilyn
