Hi Theresa, Our KU Card Center - Request for Release of Photo<https://policy.ku.edu/card-center/photo-release-request> policy addresses the photo as directory information. Our approach is that photos are generally not considered to be directory information.

A student filed a Freedom of Information Act request for surveillance camera video that was captured on a specific date and time range. The camera is located on the first floor and is pointed at a door that enters the stairwell. Apparently student congress campaign banners located in this area were ripped down. The student submitting the FOIA request feels he knows who the responsible person(s) is/are and would like to confirm through the video. Our Legal Affairs area determined that the surveillance video would be turned over. It was never our intent that surveillance videos for criminal activities would be used in this way. We are now reviewing our Directory Information.
