Community Rules

The views, information, or opinions expressed in this forum are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of AASUA. These communities are not moderated. Each member is responsible for their own content when participating in AASUA Communities and is deemed to have accepted the terms in the Communications Policy, including the following:

• Executive may suspend or terminate its operation of any online discussion forum
  if in the Executive’s opinion an online discussion forum, including the
  “Members’ Forum”, is being misused or used in a way that could expose the
  Association to potential liability. 
  
  
• The Association will not permit anonymous posting on the Members’ Forum or any other online forum.
  
  
• Each individual who posts to a forum is responsible for their own content.
  
  
• Elected representatives are not responsible for moderating the expression of others.
  
  
• Members will have the option to write to the Executive Director with respect to
  any post that appears to them to breach the Guiding Principles, may be conduct
  inconsistent with the Bylaws, or may be an offense against the law. Such posts
  will be reviewed by the Executive Director who has the authority to remove
  postings that violate these rules on an interim basis. If the Executive Director
  removes a post, their decision accompanied by the written complaint(s) will be
  reviewed by the Executive normally within 24 hours, which will decide whether
  the post is restored or removed. The material in question will not be re-posted,
  disseminated in any communication vehicle, or otherwise distributed in any
  fashion unless the Executive decides that the communication poses no potential
  liability to the Association, complies with the Guiding Principles, is consistent
  with the Bylaws, and is not an offense against the law.
  
  
• The “Members Forum” shall be on an “opt in” basis only, where members will
  be required to accept terms and conditions as the AASUA sees fit, in exchange
  for the privilege of using the “Members Forum”.
  
  
• Executive is ultimately responsible for the “Members Forum”, and therefore
  members of Executive shall not participate in the “Members Forum”, except if
  allowed to do so during an election in accordance with the Elections and ByElections Policy.
  
  
• All AASUA academic staff elected or appointed onto the General Faculties
  Council (GFC) shall be allowed to communicate with each other in an “opt in”
  digital space on the AASUA website.
