I don't envy the person who, or committee which, will be deciding on 'relevance' here:
Academics in Birmingham have condemned moves by university bosses to ban 300 of their personal websites as an attack on their academic freedom.'Relevance', furthermore, isn't necessarily going to catch everything they want to, unless it's just a category of convenience to block any old thing. Going only on this report, the decision doesn't look too clever to me. (Hat tip: Amanda G)Birmingham University's decision to stop hosting their staff's websites - weblogs - on university computers follows a series of controversies over some of their content which Jewish groups have labelled anti-Semitic.
For many years staff at the university have been able to set up their own weblogs on a university server on any subject they like, but, according to new guidelines, from March 31 they will have to demonstrate that content is "relevant and legitimate to their academic or administrative work".
