Social Media Policy

Social media are media used through web-­- and mobile-­-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue and engagement, and they have become a staple of social dialogue and action in the new millennium. Websites and user-­-generated content include, but are not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, Instagram, and blogs. Knowing the methods, etiquette, and scale of social media is vital to gaining an understanding of the nuances and repercussions that lie therein.

Contemporary students at Stevenson University are expected to follow institution-­-wide social media uses, limitations, and practices. Social media communication is public and visible, and posting inappropriate texts, pictures, videos, or images could provoke institutional or legal ramifications for the individual or group. The University and its representatives will monitor and follow social media communications to help create a balanced and positive environment.
