Yes, a specific situation and I do agree that it was extreme...however, you said that potential employers don't check your social media presence, and I was giving an example of how what you post online can affect your employment opportunities.That is a very specific situation. An extremely ridiculous move by the University in my opinion. And it wasn't really that cut and dry. The high school she was student teaching at pressured the University to discipline her or they would stop taking student teachers from the college. They claimed it was "promoting underage drinking," even though she was 25 when they picture was taken. Absurd. It was much more to do with the high school being unhappy with seeing the picture as opposed to how you painted the story. The University didn't just randomly find the picture and decide to not give her a degree. Furthermore, she only seems to have lost the lawsuit because of technicality. As stated by the judge, she University was not obligated to giver her the certificate if she hadn't completed all her student teaching hours.
