Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions on this. In the end we found that persistence and volume was the key. After 10-15 reports from multiple people Facebook decided that the profile did violate their content policies and removed it. Morrow, the DMCA idea was a particularly creative method to have the page removed, unfortunately there wasn't any content that was properly owned by the University. I might have to add that to my tool belt though.

Sometimes those people can work things behind the scenes that the normal employee can’t do. It’s worked for us in the past in regard to some content on Google that they refused to remove. *From:* The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] *On Behalf Of *David Hale *Sent:* Tuesday, March 31, 2015 12:18 PM *To:* SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU *Subject:* [SECURITY] Facebook takedowns? Has anyone had any experience with having a facebook page taken down? We have an individual that is impersonating our University's President on facebook making various statements that appear to be intended to embarrass him and tarnish our University's reputation. We've had our campus police file a complaint through their law enforcement contact site and have also had a number of people report the account as an impersonator. To date the only responses that we have had equate to "The account does not violate our content or community standards" Are there any other avenues that we can take? Has anyone been successful in having a page taken down?
