The University of Akron requires all student organizations to use "Editor2" page editor as the only option for creating websites. Two years ago, we used to have the freedom to design how we wanted, but now we have to use this system. It wouldn't be too bad if the system was standards compliant, or easy to use. According to the web master, the reason everyone has to use the system is because "people who are unfamiliar with web design may have to edit the web sites" and they don't want "broken" web sites on their server. If someone can't figure out web design, they will never be able to figure out this page editor. Using this editor it's not even possible to generate a page that doesnt contain errors on W3C's code validator.

Whoa. There is no such thing as a "root canal enema" but, if there were, I would imagine it to look almost exactly like that editor.

Wow... I was thinking about voting for Office 2007 and the guy who mentioned top 10 lists with slideshow setups definitely has a point, but this piece of shit really takes the cake. Good luck making a website with that garbage that a 10 year old couldn't make with raw html in a text editor.

If anyone has any advice on how to get my University to change their policy and allow more freedom and forward thinking in their web design, any help would be appreciated. :-) I'm tired of this editor2.

"If anyone has any advice on how to get my University to change their policy and allow more freedom and forward thinking in their web design,"
Get all of the affected organizations to just simply NOT use it. Hopefully, when the powers that be realize that the school has practically no web content and that nobody is using their beloved editor, they might be more willing to listen to sense.
You have to remember, the best way to prevent a bad decision from getting reversed is to blindly follow along. In this case, that would be putting up with the bad editor and using it anyway. Don't do it!
