Personal Use of Social Media Guidelines

The University has developed this Personal Use of Social Media Guidelines for employees who use social media and/or social networking sites that may contain postings related to the University, employees of the University, and any other affiliates of the University. Employees should use good judgment when using social media and be respectful of the University, employees, students, partners, affiliates, and others.

Personal use of social media should not be used by means of the University’s computers, University-issued mobile devices, networks, and other IT resources and communications systems. Nothing in this guideline is meant to interfere with employees’ right under federal law to engage in protected and concerted activity, including employees’ ability to discuss terms and conditions of their employment.

All postings on social media or a social networking site on behalf of the University must comply with the Social Media Policy maintained by the Marketing Department and found in the RVU policy repository - DynamicPolicy at https://policies.rvu.edu.
