Impact on Schooling and Employment

    Students are getting in trouble with University administrators for incriminating and inappropriate information or pictures on their social networking profiles that are violations of school policy or the code of conduct. (Note: Administrators are not monitoring social networking sites; however, if information or pictures on a student's account that violate policy are brought to their attention or are reported to them, they will follow up and investigate further.) 

     Students are being turned down by employers for jobs, internships and even interviews because of the information employers are finding out about students on their social networking accounts.

     Compromising and inappropriate pictures, statements or other information on student social networking accounts can hurt students' chances to gain (or even be considered for) employment. Employers take the images that students are portraying on social networking sites very seriously as a reflection of personal character.
