Use of student photographs for identification purposes on class rosters is restricted to the use of the individual course instructor even though student photos have been classified as "directory information" as defined by the Family Educational Rights and 隐私 Act of 1974 (FERPA). In situations where there is a legitimate educational purpose such as collaboration with faculty who share teaching responsibilities, faculty can share photo information. Directory information is not generally considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.

Making 照片花名册 public will be considered a violation of University policy and may have serious consequences for faculty, students and the University. 教师 will not be able to print 照片花名册 due to programming restraints.

教师 should use 照片花名册 to support teaching (e.g., confirm attendance, match names and faces, etc.), but must make sure students' photos remain confidential at all times. This means that faculty 不能:

• Publicly share these 照片花名册
• Attempt to post these photos to a blog, 公共网站, or even a secure learning management system (e.g.、帆布).

教学 Assistants fall under this guideline for use of photos on class rosters.

教师 should be aware that current FERPA guidelines were revised in December 2008. A point of clarification states that while a student may have a "withhold information" (confidential indicator) on the record, this level of confidentiality does not permit the student to be anonymous in class. The confidential requirement is an administrative tool that allows the student to withhold University-defined directory information to the public outside the University (primarily affecting verification of attendance and degree). Photos of students who have opted for a confidential indicator will appear on the class roster along with the confidential indicator flag.
