Policies

Please remember that we’re all here with a common goal, supporting Texas students through TAME’s programming. To ensure that this is a safe and productive space for all the participants, please observe the following:

• Respect – Remember to be courteous and respectful when speaking to others. Harassment or abusive behavior will not be tolerated and may result in immediate removal from the TAME Slack space.
• Confidentiality – Don’t share identifiable information about students here or distribute any information designated as confidential, and respect the privacy of others who post in this space by not sharing their words or thoughts elsewhere without their consent.
• Stay on Topic – Keep discussions in the appropriate channels, and avoid incendiary topics like politics or religion.
• Monitoring Hours – TAME Staff are available to assist you, though individual staff member schedules may vary.
