"Monday 10/6/14 Case Study (50 word min)"

The Case of the Facebook Pictures

The Orientation Committee has spent most of the spring and summer finishing their plans for Fall Orientation, where they will welcome next year's incoming class of freshmen and transfer students . They even hosted a number of summer orientation events, which allow prospective students to have a first look at the campus in June and July .The Orientation Committee was able to meaningfully connect with a number of incoming freshmen, even becoming Facebook friends with them in order to stay in touch throughout the rest of the summer and into the fall semester . Two weeks before school starts, the Orientation Committee decides to hang out off campus and have a few drinks to relax and celebrate all their hard work . No one who is underage drinks, and no one goes over the legal limit .

Shortly thereafter, some pictures from that night are posted on Facebook . A prospective student is viewing the pictures on his home computer when his mom spots them . She is very upset to see "such behavior" from students at this University and refuses to allow her son to attend in the fall . She calls the president's office to angrily complain about the situation and he, in turn, calls you, the Orientation Committee Advisor, and tells you to "handle the situation ."
