Ball State University today set limits on what school employees can post on social media Web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter. The university is following a trend adopted by other corporations in the U.S. in which internet postings have gotten greater surveillance.
Tony Proudfoot, associate vice president for marketing and communications, sent an e-mail to Ball State faculty and staff today. It lists 16 rules for the use of social media, even for employees' personal Web sites.
Some of the rules in the new policy restrict faculty and staff from using Ball State logos or endorsements, as well as notification to University Marketing and Communications from university departments.
'The policy calls for all campus units to register any social media presence, along with a full-time appointed employee responsible for its content, with University Marketing and Communications,' Proudfoot said in a cover letter sent with the policy.
