Dear GSLIS community, Please be aware of the college’s new policy on classroom photography and recording. Professors, please add the policy statement to your syllabi. I will add it to the syllabus template. QCLISSA folks, please post the statement to the student Discord server. With thanks, James ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: QC PSC Chapter Executive Committee <psc2334b@pscmail.ccsend.com<mailto:psc2334b@pscmail.ccsend.com>> Date: Tue, Dec 3, 2024 at 11:04 AM Subject: New QC Policy on Classroom Photography and Recording Dear Colleagues, The policy below was adopted by the Queens College Academic Senate on November 14, 2024. The purpose of the policy is to give faculty and students more protection from doxxing and other forms of online bullying. We recommend that faculty include a version of this policy in their syllabi, as it applies to their classroom rules. “Queens College Classroom Photography and Recording Policy Neither photographs nor recordings (audio or video) of all or parts of classes at Queens College may be made without written permission from the course instructor(s). The Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Special Services may provide for the recording of classes on behalf of a student receiving disability accommodations, missing class due to religious beliefs, or experiencing extended absence due to medical or other exigent circumstances. The Queens College Classroom Photography and Recording Policy applies to both students and visitors. Students and visitors are not authorized to copy, download, or disseminate authorized recordings and photographs to others. Students in violation of this policy are subject to disciplinary action, and visitors in violation of this policy are subject to removal from the classroom and/or campus. (Adopted at Queens College Academic Senate Meeting, November 14, 2024).” If faculty wish to allow students to make recordings and/or take photos or videos of instructional material, they can do so via their syllabi. Faculty may also grant permission via email on days when recording and photography of instructional materials are allowed. Students in violation of this policy should be referred to the Dean of Students (Dwayne Jones). Visitors in violation of this policy should be reported to the Office of Public Safety.
