Social Media

Updated November 2018

At Cambridge College, we recognize that social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and Reddit, to name a few, have become important communication channels.  Social Media is defined as any Social Networking sites, internet forums, blogs, micro-blogs and other user-created video, audio, text or multimedia that are published and shared in a social environment.

The following are general guidelines for use of social media:

• Confidential or proprietary Cambridge College information or similar information of third parties, who have shared such information on behalf of Cambridge College, should not be shared publicly on these social media channels.
• Employees, faculty and staff should refrain from reporting, speculating, discussing or giving any opinions on Cambridge College business related matters that could be considered sensitive, private, confidential or disparaging.

Violation of this policy may be grounds for discipline up to and including termination.  Common sense is the best guide.  If you have any questions about this policy and/or are unsure about any particular posting, please contact the Office of Human Resources for guidance.
