The Information Technology Services (ITS) WordPress team has an announcement and several updates for WordPress users on the in.nau.edu site network, also known as the NAU In-Site Network.
We’re pleased to announce a collaboration alongside Academic Affairs, Students Affairs, and Disability Resources to audit our Enterprise WordPress theme for user experience, accessibility compliance, and content effectiveness.
In addition to forthcoming theme updates guided by our audit, we are finalizing an updated Web Policy for in.nau.edu which will define roles and expectations for all users on the NAU In-Site Network. The policy will be announced and hosted on our website when completed.
