Subject: RE: Social Networking Sites
I forwarded this exchange on to Deb Miller since I am way out of my league here. Please see her response
below:
There are many pages on FB related to UNF- most legit and serving a useful purpose. Clarifying that official UNF
business will only take place on the UNF website/myWings makes sense. Having said that, I think many groups
do and should be able to continue to provide information about UNF (not crisis) via these sites. I’m not sure I
understand why social networking sites would require a new policy, I would think that existing policies that
apply to web pages and other public material would suffice. For example, a student could buy the domain name,
johndelaney.com, and declare the univ was closed, but I don’t think anyone would buy it. Has Rick Buck weighed
in on this? I think his input would be helpful.

For those of you who don’t have Facebook accounts you can view some of the Thomas Carpenter Pages at the

Subject: Social Networking Sites
IPC Committee:
I believe the issue of social networking sites (Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and whatever pops up next)falls under
the control of the IPC. We have had a few short conversations about it before, but were a little overwhelmed
with CMS to tackle this issue. I would like to revisit it.
I think I am ready to propose to the committee that UNF set a policy (a guideline? a process? An edict?)
that UNF social networking sites are appropriate for social networking purposes only. Some examples:
Athletics has a Facebook and a twitter account to build a fan base and school spirit. Another good example
would be the Young Alumni Club using social networking sites to keep people connected to the university. I
think they are appropriate for every student club.
What I am opposed to is anyone sending any audience (student, employee, alum, donor, the public) to a
social networking site for OFFICIAL UNF business. For example, I personally think we cannot/should not ever tell
our students to go to Facebook for the latest information on a crisis. The one and only internet presence for
official crisis information is our website as we control it, we keep hackers out, we have back up servers, we have
a back up site, etc. UNF can’t control Facebook and others. At this point, some student could open a Facebook
account and call it the President John Delaney page and declare that finals week is canceled. This creates its
own problems, but at least we can tell students that we have never, ever told them to go to a social networking
site for official information, only the UNF webpage. We are currently dealing with an issue of a student who has
opened a Facebook account and called it: Thomas G. Carpenter Library.
I’d like to add Social Networking Sites to the next agenda. Since I am not personally on Facebook or
MySpace, and I don’t Twitter, I would love to hear what others think. I haven’t looked lately, but when I
checked about six months ago on Facebook (or maybe it was MySpace) there were dozens of UNF accounts,
most of them clubs and organizations, but I know ACE and Admissions also have them. It would be helpful if
you talked to some folks in your division to have an understanding of what is already being used and for what
purpose.
