QUEENS COLLEGE–On Thursday, Nov. 14, the Queens College Academic Senate passed an amendment to QC’s classroom recording policy that prohibits photography in a classroom setting unless written consent is provided by the instructor.
The original Queens College Classroom Recording policy was adopted by the Academic Senate on Feb. 8, 2024. According to the meeting minutes from the Academic Senate’s Feb. 8 2024 meeting, the original Queens College Classroom Recording Policy states:
“Audio or video recordings of all or parts of classes at Queens College may not be made without 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 Recording Policy applies to both students and visitors. Students and visitors are not authorized to copy, download, or disseminate authorized recordings 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,” the policy says.
