FAQ

New York Institute Personal Web Pages is an intellectual and creative environment that provides faculty and staff of New York Tech, space to represent professional and research interests. It is not meant to take the place of official university faculty profiles, but to serve as an enhancement where individuals would like to publish information and further highlight their work.

The platform is maintained by the New York Tech’s Academic Technology Services team. Support for the service is available during regular business hours. ITS/ATS does not own or maintain content in any of the individual personal pages web sites. ATS will create space and assign publishing rights to the space at the request of currently employed faculty and staff. All sites will have a minimum of one page and will be assigned to “owner/administrator”, listed in the form below.

All sites and authors must abide by all relevant local, state, and federal laws, in addition to copyright and intellectual property laws and the University’s Copyright, Information Security, and Code of Responsible Technology Usage Policies.
