A Website “For the Times?: When Marketing Rules the Day

Is UMB’s mess of a new website the product of a clumsy rollout?  Or is something else going on? 

Spoiler:  It’s both!

Dear Member,

We on the FSU Executive Committee have heard from many of you about the many serious problems with the new version of the University website that was rolled out over the summer. We are very concerned by these problems, their impact on our community, their impact on our image, and the inadequate response from the architects of the new site.
