Social Media Moderation and Online Comments Policy

As the meaningful exchange of different ideas is at the core of our liberal arts mission, we welcome social media as a tool and space for thoughtful engagements.

You indemnify Skidmore, its Board, officers, employees and agents, from any and all claims and/or damages (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any claim brought by any third party relating to the content you have posted.
