15.3 Social Network Policy

Social network sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Vine, Twitter, Snap Chat, Google +, Yik Yac
and other digital platforms and distribution mechanisms facilitate students’ communication with
friends, teammates, other students, and more. Participation in such networks has both positive
appeal and potentially negative consequences. It is important that MMI cadets be aware of these
consequences and exercise appropriate caution if they choose to participate.

In general, cadets are not restricted by MMI from using any on-line social network sites and
digital platforms. However, their usage is monitored. This document outlines minimum
standards for cadet participation in social media platforms. Additional restrictions may apply to
varsity athletes.

Cadets must understand that any
content made public via on-line
social networks or digital platforms
is expected to follow acceptable
social behaviors and also to comply
with federal, state, local, and MMI
laws, rules, regulations, and policies.
It is incumbent upon cadets to be
aware of these rules. Ignorance does
Facebook not excuse cadets from compliance. and similar sites are hosted outside
the MMI server. Violations of school policy
(e.g., harassing language, alcohol or drug
policy violations, etc.) or evidence of such violations in the content of on-line social networks or
digital platforms are subject to investigation and sanction under the cadet disciplinary system, as
well law as enforcement agencies. These sites are monitored periodically by various MMI
faculty, staff, and administrative personnel.
