At Sarasota University, we value the positive discourse that our community members bring to our forums, social media platforms, and comment sections. These spaces are designed to foster diverse perspectives, encourage respectful debate, and promote a culture of learning. We believe in the power of communication to bridge gaps and enhance understanding. However, maintaining a safe and inclusive environment for every member of our community is paramount to us.
To ensure our digital platforms remain respectful and welcoming, Sarasota University has established content guidelines that we ask all participants to adhere to.These guidelines are designed to ensure that our digital spaces remain places where individuals feel supported and welcome, without fear of intimidation or harassment.
Our Content Guidelines Include:
- Respect for Everyone: We expect comments to be respectful, even in disagreement. Personal attacks, insults, and disrespectful behavior undermine constructive discussion and are not allowed.
- Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech or Harassment: We strictly prohibit hate speech, harassment, or any content that demeans, intimidates, or threatens individuals or groups based on race, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic.
- Encouragement of Constructive Dialogue: Contributions should be relevant and add value to the discussion. Spam, off-topic comments, and content that detracts from a meaningful conversation will not be tolerated.
- No Foul Language: We expect comments to be free of foul language and offensive terms. Language that is vulgar, obscene, or sexually explicit detracts from meaningful conversation and will not be tolerated.
- No Promotion of False Information: Spreading misinformation or false facts can have serious consequences. We urge community members to share information responsibly and refrain from disseminating false or misleading content.
- Privacy and Safety First: Do not share personal information about others without their consent, and refrain from engaging in any behavior that compromises someone’s safety.
