Networking Safety & Consent Policy

Networking Should Always Feel Safe and Respectful

U Single² (US2) allows you to connect with classmates, student leaders, campus organizations, creatives, athletes, mentors, and future collaborators. Whether you’re building your brand, finding study partners, or making professional moves — every interaction must be respectful, consensual, and appropriate.

What Professional Consent Means

Consent applies to networking too, not just dating.
All networking interactions must be:

• Respectful — no harassment, coercion, or unwanted pressure
• Purposeful — focus on the reason for the Konnection (study, project, business, etc.)
• Bounded — stay within the limits the other person set
• Mutual — both people agree to the conversation or collaboration
• Reversible — either person may end communication at any time

You cannot demand someone’s time, attention, or labor.

What Is Not Professional Consent

These behaviors are not appropriate or allowed:
• Pressuring someone to collaborate or help you
• Sending unsolicited promos, spam, or business pitches
• Turning a networking Konnection into a dating conversation without consent
• Using someone's academic or professional goals to manipulate them
• Continuing to message after someone disengages or declines

Respect boundaries — digital or in person.

Messaging Expectations for Networking

When sending networking messages inside U Single² (US2):
• Introduce yourself clearly
• State your purpose (project, club, event, idea, opportunity, etc.)
• Keep messages respectful and on-topic
• Do not pressure anyone to respond immediately
• Accept “no,” “not right now,” or no response
• Avoid repeated follow-ups or forced engagement
• Never guilt-trip or manipulate someone for declining

Professional interactions require patience and respect.

Safe Networking Meet-Ups

If you meet a Konnection in person for networking:
• Meet in public or on-campus spaces (library, union, study lounge, café)
• Keep first meetings short and purpose-focused
• Share your plans with a roommate or friend if you don’t know the person well
• Bring your own materials and transportation
• Leave if the conversation becomes uncomfortable or inappropriate
You never owe anyone more access than you choose to give.

Zero-Tolerance Policies for Networking Misconduct

U Single² (US2) will remove or restrict users who:
• Harass or pressure other users
• Use networking as a cover for unwanted romantic or sexual advances
• Engage in bullying, academic sabotage, or hostile behavior
• Attempt to intimidate, embarrass, or threaten someone
• Exploit a student’s academic or professional goals
• Engage in discrimination, hate speech, or harassment

Networking requires trust — and we take that seriously.

Maintaining Digital Boundaries

Healthy networking means respecting digital space:
• Don’t message repeatedly without a response
• Don’t track or ask why someone isn't available
• Don’t share personal contact info unless you choose to
• Don’t demand access to private accounts or platforms
• Don’t move the conversation off KK unless both parties agree

Your digital boundaries are yours to set.

Blocking & Reporting

If someone crosses professional or personal boundaries:
• Block them immediately
• Report the behavior through the in-app tools

Reports are confidential, and KK reviews all misconduct promptly.

By continuing, you agree to:

• Respect professional and personal boundaries
• Engage in purposeful, appropriate networking
• Communicate clearly and respectfully
• Avoid harassment, spam, or pressure
• Follow KK’s Safety, Consent, and Community Standards

• Use the platform responsibly for academic, social, and professional growth
