Social Media Code of Conduct
Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities’ Social Media Policy
The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities acts as a steward and supporter of Louisiana’s diverse and vibrant culture and history. To that end, we are dedicated to ensuring access to the humanities, offering and broadening pathways for a lifetime of learning for people of every generation and from every walk of life.
Conversation and dialogue, even when in disagreement, are key components of the humanities. When we share stories on our social media, whether that is on LEH’s main pages or any of our sub-brands’ pages, we welcome and encourage comments and courteous debate. To ensure a welcoming and open environment, we adhere to a strict code of conduct on all of our social media pages. Those pages include:
- Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities’ Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts
- 64 Parishes’ Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube accounts
- Prime Time Family Reading’s Facebook account
- Prime Time Head Start Ouachita and Acadiana Facebook accounts
On these pages, we reserve the right to hide, delete, or report any of the following:
- Comments, links, or images that use violent, racist, hateful, or obscene language
- Spam, which includes solicitations, advertisements, or endorsements of any financial, commercial, or not-for-profit organizations, websites, contests, or promotions
- Comments that suggest or encourage illegal activity
- Posts containing the personal information of the user or other users, including phone numbers, addresses, etc.
- Off-topic comments that are irrelevant to the content at hand
- Comments that threaten or defame any person or organization
- Repetitive posts copied and pasted or duplicated by single or multiple users
We reserve the right to ban any user whose comments meet the above criteria.
The views or opinions expressed in comments on the LEH’s or any of its sub-brands’ social media posts do not necessarily represent the views or opinions the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, its staff, board of directors, or donors. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of comments made by third parties.
The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (and those authorized by it) may use comments, reviews, or posts made on the LEH’s or any of its sub-brands’ social media for noncommercial, educational, or promotional purposes.
