The University’s website(s) is primarily a tool to promote the University and its excellence. It is intended for recruitment and retention purposes and to provide prospective and current students with relevant information and resources pertinent to their current or intended studies at York. The University has made it clear that these websites are not intended to be used for personal opinions by any member of the York community. Faculty members wishing to express their personal opinions can do so through their own personal channels; personal channels not associated with York University. All York’s social media channels adhere to the social media standards. As for new official York branded channels, before any social channels are created, they need to be approved as part of the Brand Stewardship Policy. New requests can be submitted through the Social Media and Digital Requirements page. Please consult with the LA&PS Communications team before submitting any new requests.
