SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY 

Social media are Internet-based communication channels that use social interaction, scalable publishing techniques, and accessible technology to share user-created content (video, audio, text, and multimedia). Examples include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. 

A University-affiliated social media page is one that shows or implies a direct connection to an Eastern Connecticut State University office, department or official University program. Student-generated content must be appropriate and in keeping with professional standards and the University’s values. 

All content — text, graphics, still photographs, videos — posted to Eastern Connecticut State University social media accounts, i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, is the property of Eastern Connecticut State University. 

Content submitted by students must be reviewed by an appropriate University employee before posting. Content for official university accounts managed by the Office of University Relations must be approved before posting by the Director of University Relations or his/her designee. 

In addition, content submitted for posting is presumed (1) to be free of any copyright or ownership restrictions, and (2) will not be subsequently posted on commercial social media accounts.
