KUMC web server (kumc.edu) relationships with the greater community

Uses of kumc.edu
The kumc.edu web site is specifically and exclusively intended as an information-delivery tool, not as a platform for advocacy of social, political, or other viewpoints. By hosting a WWW resource, The University of Kansas Medical Center does not necessarily support or endorse any viewpoint that may be expressed in that resource.

Not-for-profit organizations
Generally, the principles that apply to for-profit organizations apply to not-for-profit organizations as well.

Additionally, the University may choose to host kumc.edu resources for selected not-for-profit, charitable entities with missions related to public information in the areas of disease and disease management, fitness and wellness, public health, and other related areas. In these situations, the University's commitment will ordinarily consist of

• providing access to training through the training sessions regularly offered to KU Medical Center faculty and staff;
• providing hard disk storage consistent with the reasonable requirements of the not-for-profit entity; and
• providing server accounts and account management

The not-for-profit entity will be responsible for creating and maintaining all of its documents and for abiding by all policy and procedure affecting kumc.edu authors and document providers.
