The University may install observation cameras on University property to protect resources, enhance safety, and assist in the educational mission as provided in this policy. The University will not install observation cameras on University property in faculty/staff offices or in non-public areas of residence halls. If an observation camera is installed where identification of personal images is possible, the camera must be accompanied by appropriate signage indicating the presence of the camera and whether or not it is monitored in real time.

Purchase and installation of camera equipment to protect resources or enhance safety require the initial approval of the appropriate vice president. Purchase and installation of camera equipment for use in research must be approved by the Office of Advancement for Research and Scholarship. Purchase and installation of camera equipment for use in classrooms or to otherwise assist in the educational mission must be approved by the Provost. All requests must first be approved by the Space Utilization Group (all indoor installations) or the Campus Planning Committee (all outdoor installations). The Department of Physical Facilities and the University Information Security Office are responsible for determining equipment, signage, and placement standards.
