MonitoringRoger Williams
University• No specific monitoring system in place.• Communications and compliance staff
intermittently check team Facebook sites.• Regular discussions with coaching staff on
exercising caution and discretion.• We are reactive instead of proactive at this point,
from a university and department standpoint .• 189 million Facebook users are “mobile only”
making monitoring more difficult.
