• Be professional : We expect users to respect the rights of others. The College monitors messages posted on official pages and will remove posts if deemed offensive. All posts are representative of the opinions of the user and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Maritime College. If you see a post that you consider objectionable, please e-mail: idelgado@sunymaritime.edu • Be responsive : When you use social media, you are engaging in a conversation. If questions are posed, respond in a timely manner. • Be thoughtful : Think before you post. Consider the privacy of others as posts can be copied, forwarded and may be searchable. While colloquial language is appropriate for social media platforms, it is important to retain a professional and respectful tone. • Be truthful : Strive for accuracy in all of your posts, and thoroughly identify yourself and your role at the College. You must also make it clear that your views do not necessarily reflect those of the College, including referring to yourself as “I” rather than “we,” which would suggest that your views represent that of the College.
