The following guidelines and best practices offer a framework for successful blogging within our academic structure.

In addition, employee and student conduct guidelines and their consequences do apply to content posted by them on Pepperdine University websites and/or weblogs. See, e.g., the Computer and Network Responsible Usage Policy and the University Ethics Policy.
