STUDENT & STAFF USE OF LITTLE MIAMI SOCIAL MEDIA

First and foremost, students and staff are encouraged to always exercise the utmost caution when participating in any form of social media or any online communications, both within the LM community and beyond - Please pause before you post.

Everyone who participates in a LM online interaction must remember that their posts are public and reflect on the entire Little Miami community. With regard to personal Twitter accounts, this especially true with the use of searchable hashtags (#). Accordingly, all posts could be subject to the same behavioral standards set forth in the Student Code of Conduct Handbook and/or Little Miami Internet Acceptable Use Agreement.

Students are expected to abide by the following:

• To protect the privacy of LM students and faculty, students and staff may not, under any circumstances, create unauthorized digital audio or video recordings of LM community members either on campus or at an off-campus event for online publication or distribution, without consent.
• Students and staff may not use social media sites to publish disparaging or harassing remarks about LM community members, athletic or academic contest rivals, etc.
• Students and staff who choose to post editorial content to websites or other forms of online media must ensure that their submission reflects their own opinion and does not imply the opinion of LM.

Again, failure to abide by these guidelines and policies, as with other policies of LM, may result in disciplinary action or suspension of certain privileges while on an LM campus.
