At UC Santa Cruz, we strive to create a welcoming, respectful, inclusive environment that is consistent with our Principles of Community. UC Santa Cruz also reserves the right to delete, hide or block posts that violate these Principles of Community, and to block users who generate such posts, without prior warning or obligation to defend that action.

UC Santa Cruz welcomes contributions to our social media pages in the spirit of sharing information among prospective students, current students, alumni, friends and the community.

However, our social media pages are not public forums. We reserve the right to delete postings that are inconsistent with our purpose, including, but not limited to:

• illegal or fraudulent activities;
• posts that inaccurately indicate or suggest endorsement, approval, or sponsorship by UC Santa Cruz or its employees;
• posts that can be confused with official communications of UC Santa Cruz or its employees;
• obscene or graphic postings; or
• postings that are not related to UC Santa Cruz or the UC Santa Cruz community.
• Also see Facebook Terms of Use and "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities":http://www.facebook.com/terms.php

Sexist, racist, libelous and other discriminatory comments or images will be removed immediately. Users are free to discuss topics and disagree with one another, but please be respectful of others' opinions and do not resort to personal attacks, even in jest. They will not be tolerated.

Comments that indicate a risk to the safety of a student or other person at the university will be reported to the UC Santa Cruz police department.

We encourage you to use the space as a platform to share information about your work at the university and achievements. However, overtly commercial advertisements, solicitations and promotions are not allowed and will be removed promptly. Exceptions are made for university events and community events of interest to the campus.
