○Remarks posted on internet message boards, etc.

Please think before posting inappropriate or extreme remarks on social networks such as X (formerly: Twitter) or Facebook, or on other message boards. There have been cases in which, under the cover of anonymity, a person has made remarks that they would not ordinarily have made in public, resulting in a backlash directed toward the University, or private matters relating to the person concerned being disclosed to the general public.
