College Misuse of Texting and Social Media Defense Attorneys
Advising college students nationwide who have been accused of violations related to the misuse of social media, texting, or email
Not surprisingly, more and more colleges and universities are enacting strict social media use policies that define potentially harassing texts or other types of messaging as violations of the school’s code of conduct. For this reason, you may send what you think may be a fun or harmless message and may suddenly find yourself the subject of an investigation and serious allegations.
The highly knowledgeable college code of conduct defense attorneys at Duffy Law, LLC understand that texting and social media are part of the college experience and their use can often be unintentional and/or misunderstood. If you have been accused of improper texting or social media use by your school, Duffy Law can protect your rights and defend against the allegations.
Social media misuse or harassment violations can have serious consequences
If your school believes you violated student code of conduct provisions that prohibit certain uses of social media or texting, you can face significant disciplinary sanctions. These often include the following:
- Formal reprimand
- Disciplinary probation
- Exclusion from university housing
- Loss of financial aid awards or scholarships
- Suspension or expulsion
If you have been accused of these kinds of offenses, it is crucial to understand that accusations have the potential to cause problems years into the future. Most, if not all, graduate programs will request to see your academic record as part of their admissions process and any disciplinary violations will be clear to admissions officials. In addition, employers who require an academic record may be hesitant to hire an applicant with a disciplinary record.
