Who Gets a Biography?
While we fully support the interdisciplinary and cross-organization efforts taking place across our campus, our Biographies section is meant to store information about current Case Western Reserve University faculty and staff. Other key players on your teams, such as undergraduate students or temporary researchers, certainly can and should be highlighted on your website, but this information should be created as regular pages rather than added to Biographies.
In addition, if an individual from an external organization has an outside profile, please link to this instead of creating a page for them on Case Western Reserve's website, so information only needs to be maintained in one place (at their primary institution).
It’s important to remember that biographies are not stored/edited on the individual department/school websites (School of Medicine, Sears think[box], etc.). Instead, they are stored in a hub and synced out to the sites that they are tagged on.
This way, one biography can appear on multiple sites but only has to be edited in one place.
As an editor, you have access to this hub and can make the following changes to biographies:
- Edit any information on an already existing biography
- Add a new biography to the system
Because biographies can appear on multiple sites, as an editor you do not have access to:
- Delete or unpublish a biography
- Place a biography on your site in a specific order or on a specific section
To remove a biography from your website, please reach out to help@case.edu and give us the name of the person you need to be removed and details of whether they have just transferred departments or left the university.
