Sexual harassment rises to the level of sex discrimination, and is prohibited by this policy as sexual misconduct, when:
   1. Submission to such conduct is made or threatened to be made, either explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of an individual鈥檚 employment or 成人快播, Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used or threatened to be used as the basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual, or:

1. Social media is a powerful communication tool that can have a significant Impact on organizational and professional reputations. Because these outlets blur the lines between personal voice and the organization voice, the Office of Greek Life has incorporated these guidelines to help clarify how to best enhance and protect personal and professional reputations when participating in social media. Think twice before posting.
2. Privacy does not exist in the world of social media. Consider what would happen if a post becomes widely known and how that may reflect on both the University and your organization.
3. Search engines can turn up post years after they are created, and comments can be forwarded or copied. If you would not say it at a conference or to a member of the media, consider whether you should post it online.
4. Be respectful.
   • Understand that content contributed to a social media site could encourage comments or discussion of opposing ideas. Responses should be considered carefully in light of how they could be reflected on the University or your organization.
5. Consider your audience and its potential reaction to your content.
   • Be aware that a presence in the social media world is or can easily be made available to the public at large. This includes prospective students, current students, current employers and colleagues, and peers. Consider this before publishing to ensure that the post will not alienate, harm, or provoke any of these groups.
