Good morning, ACUPA!
We at Iowa State U. have been working on a policy governing the use of video
surveillance on campus. The subject of Google Glass or other such devices has
come up on NACUANET (attorneys' listserv) and I would like to pass along this
question to ACUPA, as well:
"We are examining issues related to the use of video recording (without
audio) on campus for research purposes using Google Glass. Have any
institutions set policies or parameters on the use of video recording on campus
using Google Glass (or other devices) for research or other purposes? For
example, have institutions prohibited video recording in certain locations such
as classrooms, laboratories, dormitories, offices, locker rooms, bathrooms,
etc.?
Would there be any FERPA or other privacy concerns if class sessions were
video recorded using Google Glass, without the consent of the individuals in
the class?
While video recording on campus is not a new issue, we are concerned that
Google Glass enables widespread constant video recording in a manner such that
people are not aware they are being recorded."
Thanks for any insights you can provide!
