Humanities Social Media Community Guidelines
Welcome to Our Community
The BYU College of Humanities believes meaningful conversations begin with curiosity and a genuine desire to understand one another. Our social media channels are an extension of our college community, a place to celebrate creativity, languages, cultures, literature, and the people who make the humanities meaningful.
We welcome thoughtful discussion and perspectives while striving to create a space where everyone feels respected and valued. As part of Brigham Young University, we seek to reflect the values of the university founded, supported, and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
What We Ask
We invite our social media community to abide by these standards:
- Engage respectfully with others, even when perspectives differ.
- Ask thoughtful questions and contribute meaningful conversation.
- Celebrate the accomplishments of students, faculty, alumni, and friends of the college.
- Share experiences that contribute positively to our community.
- Help create a welcoming environment for everyone.
Public Participation
Please remember that comments, posts, and replies shared on our social media channels are public and may be visible to others. To help protect your privacy, we encourage you not to share confidential, private, or sensitive personal information when interacting with our accounts.
As part of participating in our online community, you acknowledge that your public comments, replies, or posts may be shared, reposted, or highlighted by the BYU College of Humanities to celebrate our community or continue meaningful conversations. When appropriate, we will make reasonable efforts to credit the original creator. We will not use private messages or content shared with restricted audiences without permission.

To help keep this community welcoming, We the page administrators reserve the right to remove comments or content if they include:
- personal attacks, harassment, or intimidation
- hate speech or discriminatory language
- profanity, obscene, or offensive content
- spam, scams, or repetitive promotional content
- misinformation intentionally shared to mislead others
- content that violates privacy or applicable laws
