Cottey College values a respectful and inclusive environment for everyone in its community. To support this goal, we have established guidelines for how students should conduct themselves online and in social media platforms, reflecting the College's commitment to maintaining a positive and safe online presence.
We expect all students to interact respectfully and thoughtfully in their online communications. There are certain behaviors on social media that are strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. These include any form of harassment, bullying, or threats toward individuals or groups; posting content that discriminates based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other protected characteristic; sharing content that is obscene, defamatory, or incites violence; impersonating or misrepresenting another person; and engaging in any conduct that violates College policies or laws at any level.
If students encounter any violations of these standards, they are encouraged to report them to the Office of Student Life and Enrollment. Reports can be made in person, or by email to Landon Adams, Vice President for Student Life and Enrollment at ladams@cottey.edu. These reports are taken seriously and will be investigated to ensure that the College maintains a safe and respectful community for all.
