This is, of course, posted from my "Contact Webmaster" form, which has areas clearly labeled "Problem Report", and is prefaced with the following statements, which I think are pretty clear:

Please use this page to report misspellings, omissions, broken links or other errors for all web pages that start with "http://www.admin.mtu.edu/em/".

All questions that are not strictly web-related should be directed to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Problems with other web pages at MTU should be directed to the appropriate webmaster for that department. For most pages at the http://www.mtu.edu/ domain, that is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Can the person not search the website and find the current course catalog? Jeez...*facepalm*

Apparently not. Nor can they go to the CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT web site to ask the people that actually know the answers to questions about Chemical Engineering students.

I actually get a lot of these kinds of questions. I don't understand it, since I think my instructions on the page are fairly clear. It is a page for reporting problems with the web pages for which I am responsible.

I am not an academic advisor, nor am I student affairs, the Chemical Engineering department secretary, or even the webmaster for the Humanities department. If it isn't a problem on the Records and Registration web site, it isn't my problem.

Ah yes, but you're assuming these people can READ well enough to understand the information on the page. :/

My mother's a college professor, I see this idiocy all the time. When I was in school it was no different...I swear, all you need sometimes is a pulse, and a faint one at that. :/

And the vast majority of them get degrees and great jobs and scarier still: they vote.

Explains how W got into office for the second time. Like a friend of mine said, "I'd trust him to blow up balloons for my kids at a party. Running the free world? That I'm not so sure on."
