Adam,

Long and short of it: because the campus is decentralized when it comes to
computer support, there are no campuswide guidelines dictating a minimum
browser level.

My group runs the Gateway and NewsCenter sites. The Gateway was developed
several years ago and is readable by older browsers (and there is a text only
version of each file for Section 508 folks). The NewsCenter, which debuted in
February, uses CSS. We provide a separate style sheet for browsers predating
IE5 and Netscape 5. But anybody using these antique browsers gets a visually
poorer version of the NewsCenter than what those with a 21st century browser
see.
