| Actions: | The Educational Affairs Committee reviewed the interim policy at its meeting on February 20. It submitted questions to the Student Affairs Committee that same day.

Feedback from the OGC was reviewed on March 31, when the committee tentatively decided to recommend several revisions to the policy. The draft revisions were shared with faculty members from several Colleges who use social media in their classrooms, as well as with the Career Center and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. The committee discussed the revisions and recommendations at its final meeting of the year, and voted to approve them by an email vote concluding May 15, 2017. |
