There has been much discussion about the issue of boundaries on Facebook. Some suggest faculty members can resolve potential dilemmas in relation to students by making sensible decisions about what to post and by fine-tuning privacy settings. But the challenges and opportunities run deeper. For those who want to be appropriately accessible to students in the cyberhallways they frequent, while also keeping in touch with everyone from their kids to old friends, Facebook is worth considering as a communal space, albeit one that requires discretion. New technologies create alternative points of connection. While email has challenged long-standing norms by helping to craft a culture where some students expect 24/7 access to professors, Facebook presents even more-profound questions regarding boundaries and mixing the personal and professional.
