Good Morning, We have a small section on social media within our Web Communications policy.
Web Communications WWW.WAKETECH.EDU is the only official internet website of the college and as such must be administered by college officials and the college webmaster (who manages content and design, on servers maintained by or external services approved by Wake Tech's ITS department. Official Wake Tech information may be linked to external internet locations (such as social networking sites) upon registration through the college webmaster, who manages content and design for the website. Divisions, departments, programs, and other entities within the college may be represented in a section of the site, provided they agree to provide and maintain content for the section. All content is subject to editorial review by Communications staff; inappropriate or outdated content may be removed. Sections with low-volume traffic over an extended period may also be subject to removal. Official information created by Wake Tech and appearing in publications such as the curriculum course catalog or student handbook (e.g., college policies and procedures, mission statement, academic calendar, etc.) may not be re-written or duplicated elsewhere on the website. Entities needing official information on a website section may request to have a reference added. § Intranet Information that pertains to employees only should be posted in the employee portal, Eagles' Nest. Websites within the employee intranet may be built for a college division, department, or program; if necessary, such sites may be built to serve (and be visible to) the employees of a particular division or department only. § Student Portal All information that pertains to current curriculum students only should be posted in the student portal. § Blogs Blogs may be provided to certain entities upon request. All blog websites must reside on Wake Tech's servers and must be the official responsibility of an employee with a key account. (Key accounts are used for login.) Blogs must be moderated by a faculty or staff member, although students may be permitted to edit blogs. The Student Activities Department may request blogs for college clubs and organizations. Club advisors (faculty or staff) may request design services for their club's blog or add a student editor by submitting a work order. Club advisors are expected to review student posts to ensure appropriate content. Blogs may not be used to publish course material for Curriculum Education classes. A learning management system such as Blackboard or Moodle must be used for curriculum course material. § Social Networking/Supplemental Online Services Wake Tech faculty and staff at department head level or higher may, with approval from the appropriate dean, use supplemental online services such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and others. Use of such services must be arranged through the Digital Communications Specialist in the Communications Division, who will assist with establishing an account and record the employee's username and password. Employees will be responsible for maintaining the service and may contact the Digital Communications Specialist for assistance as needed. The Digital Communications Specialist will maintain account records in case content needs review or someone other than the original user assumes responsibility for the service § External Websites Students, faculty, and staff are not permitted to use Wake Tech's name or official logos, graphics, or information or to state or imply any official association with the college in websites they create outside of Wake Tech's servers. Violation of any of the above provisions will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination or expulsion. _______________________________ Rachel King, M.A. Policies and Procedures Manager Adjunct Instructor, Office Systems Technology Wake Technical Community College 9101 Fayetteville Road Raleigh, NC 27603 (919) 866-5603, Main Campus - MH 326C [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Resue, Margaret Sent: Monday, November 17, 2014 4:23 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [acupa-l] Policy on Social Media Hi everyone, I would be interested to see how other colleges and universities have addressed policy on social media if you wouldn't mind sharing.
