Email

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the the Louisiana Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Absolutely any and all policies, procedures, contracts, agreements, regulations, or other directive materials related to the use of social media by students and social media surveillance and associated software. Please provide all responsive materials held by this institution's Department of Administration, Department of Athletics, and Department of Public Safety, or police force.

Please include in this request:

• Any and all contracts, agreements, associated exhibits, amendments, and other other associated materials for relationships with social media monitoring services by any department under the umbrella of this University, including but not limited to those with YouDiligence, Varsity Monitor, or any similar entities used to monitor students' online presence.

• Any and all policies and procedures regarding the use or regulation of students' social media by faculty, employees, athletic personnel, or any other individuals under the umbrella of this University.

• Any and all directives regarding the use of social media by faculty, employees, athletic personnel, or any other individuals under the umbrella of this University.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl Lipton

Hello,

This email is to respond to your Public Records Request made in your e-mail, copied below, pursuant to the Louisiana Public Records Act.

The LSU document responsive to your request for "any and all contracts, agreements, associated exhibits, amendments, and other other associated materials for relationships with social media monitoring services by any department under the umbrella of this University" is attached hereto. The Athletics department uses Tweetdeck to monitor social media.

For your requests below, LSU Strategic Communications outlines the University's social media policy here http://www.lsu.edu/stratcomm/policies/social-media.php and Athletics' Student Athlete social media guidelines are located in our student athlete handbook on page 9 located here https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57570791a3360cd6b793610f/t/580e83baff7c50a4f41096c2/1477346236414/2016-17+SA+Handbook.pdf.
* Any and all policies and procedures regarding the use or regulation of students' social media by faculty, employees, athletic personnel, or any other individuals under the umbrella of this University.
* Any and all directives regarding the use of social media by faculty, employees, athletic personnel, or any other individuals under the umbrella of this University.

The search for records was limited to our Strategic Communications Office & Athletics Office as it would be unduly burdensome to search for records for every department in the University, see LSA-RS 44:33.A(2).

This communication concludes LSU's response to your Public Records Request. We request that you acknowledge receipt of this email.

Thank you.
