While considering individuals’ reasonable expectations of personal privacy, the Housing Department has employed video surveillance cameras to enhance the safety and security of students, employees, and property. The primary intent of these video surveillance cameras is to enhance safety and security while discouraging the occurrence of behaviour that violates laws or policies as well as securing evidence that enhances the likelihood of identifying offenders through post-incident investigations of crimes. Viewing of video surveillance camera footage (either live video footage or recordings) will be conducted only by authorized personnel. Cameras will only be placed in common areas.
While giving all due respect to the privacy of housing residents, circumstances present themselves that necessitate authorized college personnel to enter a student’s room. Authorized staff have the right to entry into a student’s room for custodial and maintenance purposes; assessment of damage; inventory of college property; determination of health and sanitary violations; compliance with college rules, regulations and policies; and emergencies where imminent danger of life, safety, health or property is reasonably suspected. When possible, advance notice of need for entry will be given to the student occupants. College law enforcement will follow appropriate legal procedures when entering and searching resident hall rooms and resident’s belongings.
