I would just like to put in a good word for trying to work
with the
college's web team/person as much as possible. When we made
the
transition
to the college's CMS, we did have to give up certain things.
However, we
also
brought our usability studies and commitment to
accessibility with us to
the
transition meetings, and by agreeing to move to the site
(but keeping
certain
parts on our own server), our college web team was motivated
to create
tools
and make allowances that ultimately benefited other
departments as well.
I recognize that there are times to take a hard line and
disassociate
from systems
that are unworkable. Your mileage will vary.
