For the most part, you will have the option to list your posts as private (only visible my other members of your group) or public (all members of Progressive U will be able to read your post).
Whether you decide to make your post private or public will be up to you. Either option offers advantages and disadvantages depending on what you're trying to post.
By opting to keep your post private, the content of your post will not be viewable by members outside of your group. This also means that your post will not be indexed by Google or other search engines, and will not appear when members of Progressive U search the web site for content. This may be optimal for posting things like stories or sensitive information that you wish to be kept private.
However, if you want a large number of people to be able to access, read, and comment on your post, you might wish to consider allowing the post to remain public. This will allow the post the same privileges and accessibility as any other post on Progressive U.
Please note: Directors of the Alumni Association and some members of the faculty can read all posts in all groups, regardless of their privacy settings. Keep this in mind when you decide to make a post. Content within groups must still adhere to Progressive U's TOS and violations will be dealt with.
