New policy for the use of social media in the name of Umeå University

16 June 2015

The Vice-Chancellor has now established a new policy for the use of social media with Umeå University as the source.

The document, focusing on the start-up, responsibility, maintenance, archiving and shutting down "external channels", highlights relevant legislation and responsibility of service. Attached is a checklist recommended for use at the set-up stage of new channels as well as a policy template for these channels.

The policy has been prepared by a working team and thereafter the matter has been referred to faculties, the Umeå School of Education, Student Unions and Union organisations for input.

An English version of the policy will be available shortly. Until then, more information is available at:
