At the April 15th Board Meeting, new policy was presented and approved by the board. This policy was created by the Public Image Committee and outlines guidelines for what content can be published on our club’s online platforms. This policy can be found below.

Policy on Posting to Club Electronic Platforms

Postings on all electronic platforms maintained by the Club are to meet criteria established under existing Club policies and guidelines.

Submissions for Posting on Club Electronic Platforms

Any request for posting on any Club maintained electronic platforms will be reviewed by the acting Editor-in-Chief of the Harpoon/website.  The Editor-in-Chief may, at his or her discretion, reject any such request on the basis of length, style, relevance, or prohibited topic as listed below.  In cases of a challenge to posting, the Club President or Secretary will have final determination of whether or not any request for submission meets appropriate Club policy.
