POLICY: If the performance of a server falls below acceptable levels, restrictions on its use will be developed by the TRC, such as elimination of low priority sites, restrictions on types and sizes of student home pages, and deletion of course materials in quarters when a course is not being taught. Instructors of affected sites would be notified before changes or deletions were implemented. The TRC reserves the right to maintain compliance of server files with server and campus policies.
