Dr. Hyatt presented a revision of OP 91.315 Guidelines Concerning the Use of Surveillance Cameras on Campus. This policy allows the MSU Police Department to use electronic access control, surveillance cameras and security systems to deter criminal activity and aid in investigations. The policy provides uniform guidelines for the ethical use of electronic safety and security systems on the Starkville, College Park and Riley campuses and lists video that is not subject to the policy. It applies to access control systems, video and electronic surveillance systems that monitor or record university facilities and/or faculty, staff, students and visitors to those facilities. The proposed update will facilitate a more unified and comprehensive approach to security and access control installation and use moving forward. The Council recommended approval.
