The headline "Together with USI" is a clear invitation to the whole USI community to be involved.

Through Instagram, USI not only intends to tap into the power of pictures taken on our campus, but also to convey the USI spirit and provide more visibility to the members of the community. The platform is a place for sharing our image, to promote our activities and to strengthen the sense of community. Students, alumni, faculty and staff members represent the main audience of this channel. Our motto is "Visual with USI".

The official social media channels of the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) are strictly the ones listed below: they consist of the institutional channels (see above) and other profiles of organisations which belong institutionally in whole or in part to USI.

USI is responsible only for the content of these channels and cannot be held responsible for other channels, profiles or pages, which refer to USI but are not approved.

While fully respecting the freedom and responsibility of staff members, the University cannot be held responsible for content posted by staff members on their personal profiles. Official positions and opinion of Università della Svizzera italiana are expressed on social media exclusively through its official profiles (for individual USI entities), in particular through institutional channels (for USI as an institution).

Student groups or other social media actions taken by USI community members are more than welcome: the use of official logos is however strictly forbidden, and the description or biographical part must state that the page or the group is not officially connected the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) and therefore USI is not to be held responsible for its content.

As a University, we believe in the value of a constructive exchange and we consider our social media as an open space for sharing, where comments and contributions are more than welcome. To ensure positive participation in an open environment, we ask to respect others and their opinions and to act with the awareness that our social media channels are public and that you will be held responsible for all content you have posted.

Options for administrators

To guarantee a respectful and constructive dialogue, the administrators reserve the right to remove any inappropriate contents such as:

• comments that are defamatory, libelous, offensive, sexist, racist, discriminatory, that instigate violence, or comments that lead to harassment or which are detrimental to dignity, integrity or other's reputation;
• persona attacks or threats;
• pornographic or obscene content;
• content formulated in a vulgar inappropriate language or in a language that does not allow the administrators to fully understand the meaning of the post;
• misleading content, spam, advertising, propaganda or commercial content;
• contents that infringe intellectual property, privacy, the rights of third parties or the Swiss law in general.

If you believe that your content shouldn't have been cancelled or if, you have general complaints about actions taken by the channel administrator, or wish to discuss terms and conditions, or simply need more information, you can reach us at [email protected].

In case of repeated violations, USI reserves the right to report the authors of such content and block them from our channels.

Responsibility for content posted by third parties

Any content posted by third parties on our social media does not represent the views and opinions of Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), which cannot therefore be held responsible. Only the profiles listed on this document can be considered official USI profiles. All other profiles are to be considered non-official, and therefore USI cannot be held responsible.
