I would agree.

The main interesting parts of this documents are the parts that explicitly lay out things that should be obvious.

DO live Gracious Professionalism. When at an event, volunteers should become a part of every team they interact with. If a team starts to frown while a volunteer is working with them, something needs to change! If there is particularly bad news or a difficult situation, get the appropriate Key Volunteer to help. When not at an event, be aware that everything you do reflects on FIRST. This is especially true with social media – Tweets, posts, or blogs can easily cause issues for volunteers. Stay positive, think about how your post will be perceived, and if there’s an issue you’re concerned about, look for the appropriate avenue to voice it – bring it up with the appropriate Key Volunteer or Volunteer Coordinator!

What is the reason for this paragraph? It seems to be a reference to specific events. It doesn't seem likely to me that this is a repeated problem that needs to be addressed in a blanket statement to all FRC alumni at a university.

So you screwed up...

Most volunteers are very unlikely to "screw up". Why bring this up with all college-aged volunteers? If you have a problem with only a few college-aged volunteers, perhaps it would be good to talk to them on an individual basis.

If you have a problem with more than a few of them, perhaps there is a bigger conflict.

It doesn't seem like there's good communication between the sides here. If this document has really left some alumni with a bad taste in their mouths, perhaps it would be good to make amends and create a culture of understanding.
