  Applicants will be required to make their social media profiles "public" and will be screened for "hostile attitudes" toward the U.S., new State Department guidance says.

The article from AOL discusses the increasing use of social media screening for student-athletes by colleges and universities, highlighting the case of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which has implemented a policy to monitor the online activities of its athletes.
