I guess the first thing that needs to be explained is that some years ago, a Nova student did some badmouthing on his class Facebook group. Their FB group was completely open to the public and anyone could join. One of the many members of the group happened to be a physician who was affiliated with one of our hospital rotations. Anyway, he saw what the student wrote on the group, got pissed, and decided to ban Nova students from rotating at his hospital. The Dean had talk to him and convince him to let us keep our spots.
With my class, there were two people who were the admins for our class Facebook group. Once M1 year started and we had elections, the SGA people were added as admins for the Facebook group too. My class is notorious for complaining and many people vented their frustrations on our Facebook group. SGA was afraid of something similar to the above happening again, so they started telling people what they should/should not post in the group. Some people thought that this was policing/censorship, including the two original admins, so they removed the SGA people from being group admins. Then they changed the name of our group to something completely random so no one outside of our school would find our group and people could post what they want. SGA had also gone through the list of group members earlier in the year so that the only people in our Facebook group were those actually in our class. Then near the end of M1 year, SGA created another class Facebook group and said that all official school/class announcements will be posted on that group and not the original one, so everyone had to also join that group. We also have an academic group that's just for class-related topics. So...my class has three Facebook groups, and to avoid any future drama, SGA probably just decided to make a c/o 2019 group
