CMSV 602 Social Media
Policy Name: Social Media
Social media is a powerful communication tools that has a significant impact on organizational and professional reputations. Because they blur the lines between personal voice and institutional voice, the College of Mount Saint Vincent has adopted the following policy to help clarify how best to enhance and protect personal and professional reputations when participating in social media.
Social media platforms are defined as media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Examples include, but are not limited to, blogs, Wikis, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, as well as photograph sharing sites such as Flickr.
Both in professional and institutional roles, employees need to follow the same behavioral standards online as they would in real life. The same laws, professional expectations, and guidelines for interacting with students, parents, alumni, donors, media, and other College constituents apply online as in the real world. Students may be held or are liable for anything they post to social media sites.
While this document will provide more specific guidelines to help navigate particular interactions, all these spring from a set of basic principles:
Don’t post anything you would not say.
Assume anything you post is public, regardless of privacy settings.
Assume anything you post is permanent.
