The Cautionary Study, 2014

They come around with regularity, so I offer up the recent edition of "I told you so" for colleagues related to social media policy and preparedness.  Good friend C.K. Syme makes The Chronicle of Higher Ed's newsletter this week with her summary of a CoSIDA study on best practices for college athletics in social media.  Check out the link here.

The question for you, dear readers, is which side of these numbers are you on?  Perhaps you've got administrative and/or legal constipation that prevents you from formalizing a policy?  Might be time to share some of these kind of surveys with them in hopes of loosening the log jam.

Cause it's not if, but when, the social media monster visits your campus.
