Ideally, yes. However, we live in the real world, where the people "in
the know" are not the people "in control". Maybe the NU IT dept has
its hands tied and don't have the budget to do the job properly.

Quite possibly. Again, this could be a budgetary issue. M$ only staff
would cost less to employ than fully versed web experts.

Again, this could be the result of budgetary/time constraints.

As would I.
Don't get me wrong; I don't disagree with what you've said, on the
whole. I'm just presenting possibilities where the IT people may not
be at fault, but management. That is, the people that *think* they
know best, even though they've got no formal training or practical
experience in the field of endeavour over which they "lord it".
It still p*sses me off when I find a site that won't work, or works
poorly with (say) FF.
