As my co-presenter Teresa V. Parrot and I continue working on the content for our upcoming Academic Impressions webcast, Starting A Social Media Policy, a recurring question arises:
Should universities have social media policies or social media guidelines?
I’d like to hear your thoughts on this subject. If your institution has a written social media document, is it a policy or a guidelines document? Which approach is preferable for your institution? Why? What are the advantages or drawbacks?
If you have strong opinions on this subject, please weigh in below. I’d love to steal your ideas.
Also, if you have a social media policy and would like to share the link, please also post it below. Thanks to those of you who shared your policies in the comments section of my earlier blog post on this subject.
