118.1 Policy

The College is a unique and important source of news-worthy stories. The College encourages positive interaction with media outlets. However, only the President (or the President’s designee) is authorized to issue any official College communications to the media. If an employee or member of the board of directors is contacted by a member of the media about the College, they may make a limited, factual response, but are to refer the media inquiry to the President for an official College statement. The President may utilize the College public relations specialist or others he deems helpful in making the official media response.
