Media Policy

The Mercyhurst University Office of Public Relations works closely with all local, regional and national media to provide information about the university as needed. However, Mercyhurst does ask that all media outlets respect the privacy of Mercyhurst students and employees and pass their requests for interviews, access and information through the public relations office. Likewise, members of the college community who are approached directly by the media should refer them to the public relations office to facilitate their requests. This long-standing policy has two goals: to connect reporters with the best member of the university community to handle their respective inquiries, and to protect those within the community who are uncomfortable handling questions from news reporters.
