Is It Fair for Colleges to View Your Social Media?

     Is it fair for colleges to use social media to decide whether to accept a student?  My take is yes, it is fair, in fact, it is a great advantage available to colleges.  When colleges are looking for potential students, they want to know what kind of people the students are.  No college wants to accept a student known to cause problems, and rightfully so.  A student can meet all the necessary qualifications to attend a college and still be a bad student.  Also, any issues these students cause outside of school can affect the colleges reputation.  Nobody wants to attend a school known for its trouble makers.
    Colleges are also concerned with behavior after the student graduates.  If a past student creates problems related to their education it can give the college a bad reputation; colleges want students who will represent their school well during and after attending the school.  Social media is a huge advantage to colleges, as it gives them great insight as to who they are accepting into their school.  I believe that this insight can be very valuable when wielded properly.
