Faculty and staff are required to have a presence and photo in the university directory. The only exception to this is for physical safety concerns. These requests must be reviewed and approved by the VP of People and Culture. If you feel this applies to you, please email hr@dom.edu to formally request an opt-out.
Photo Guidelines for University Directory
- Pictures should be a recent professional or personal shot of the employee from the shoulders up. This should be taken in good lighting conditions against a non-distracting background.
- Pictures should not include other people.
- No pictures should show derogatory, discriminatory, or profane words, symbols, or phrases.
- Please do not use images that are not of yourself. Do not use a work of art, digital graphic, animal, cartoon or other placeholder image.
- Pictures should not display any visible logos.
- Pictures should not include lewd or crude mannerisms or suggestive poses and should comply with the Dominican University dress code policy.
HR reserves the right to review and remove any pictures which do not meet the standards as outlined. Continued use of pictures that do not meet the standards set above may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
