Alumni Association of the University of Michigan
Message Board Policy

The Alumni Association of the University of Michigan maintains this message board for use by the University of Michigan community. If you have any questions regarding the message board, please contact us at m.alumni@umich.edu.

The message board policy may be revised at any time. Please check this page regularly for the most current policy.

The message board is for the enjoyment of members of the University of Michigan community, including members of the Alumni Association. We encourage an open and honest exchange of ideas and expect all users of the message board to respect the rights of others. Alumni Association staff members monitor messages posted on the message boards and will remove messages that are considered offensive. Because this is a manual process, offensive messages may not be removed immediately but will be removed in a reasonable time frame.

Messages posted on the Alumni Association message board are the views of the author of the message only and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Alumni Association or the University of Michigan.

Users of the Alumni Association message board should use common sense when posting messages. Messages will be viewable by the general public and users should use caution when providing personal information. Users of the message board agree not to post anything false and defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of law and further agree to be solely responsible for and hold the Alumni Association harmless in the event of any claim based on their message. Messages that are posted for advertising purposes to promote the buying, selling or trading of any commercial product, service or item are not allowed. Posts containing personal advertisements, such as want ads, personal items or events are allowed.

While it is impractical to list every possible violation of our policies, the above should be used as guidelines. The Alumni Association of the University of Michigan reserves the right to suspend message board privileges of anyone who is found violating the above policies.
