Ilana’s Social Media Policy

Click to access DTM%2009-026.pdf

I choose the military social media policy because I was really curious to see how strict it would be for those who serve our country. It turns out the policy was not as strict as I thought it would be. At first, I thought two things: People in the military were not allowed to have internet access/social networking sites while on breaks/on duty and I also thought that if they were allowed to use social networks, they were not allowed to post pictures of them or write statuses about them serving.

The NIPRNET (Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network) allows internet access to those whom wish to access social networking sites. Before February 2010, when the new and updated policy was released, it used to say that personal blogs had to be shut down and restricted access to social networks were given. The new policy states that it should “continue to defend against malicious activity” in regards to stopping cyber attacks against the military. This was mostly just to ban pornography, gambling sites, and hate-crime sites. The policy also stated that if a commander was uncomfortable with social networking sites, then they had the right to restrict access to the internet. However, this would not completely be the case. The restriction would only be  temporary .

I found the old policy to be somewhat unreasonable because a person should not have to suffer with banned internet access just because one person feels uncomfortable . It is hard enough for people serving in the military to be on limited contact with their loved ones back home. However, I do think think it is acceptable to temporarily block the internet access while a soldier must work when not on a break.

This article talks about the issue of rape, physical violence, and stalking on school campuses  ranging from elementary schools to college campuses.  The purpose of the article is to make the public aware of this issue and give some ideas on how to prevent these things from happening.

This is a link to the handbook for step-by-step procedures for higher level education institutions to take in order to make their campus more safe.  It was developed by the U.S. Department of Education.

I wanted to post this as it should not only make our problem hit home for students but for our group also.  I think an emotional connection will help fuel us to do our best.  Our group problem is a major one at this school.  While ODU has some of the best staff, smartest students and most talented athletes this flaw in the community really hurts Norfolk, Hampton Roads, and ODU’s reputation.

This article discusses crime in general and its effect on impoverished neighborhoods.  While this article is focused on Chicago, Illinois, we can learn and maybe implement these empirical approaches on Norfolk and ODU.

Problem:

The group decided we would tackle campus safety as our problem.  We wanted to focus on a local level problem that was a practical issue.
