Q: Your college wants to show a slideshow of student photos prior to commencement. An email was sent to students who indicated they were participating in the ceremony, requesting they provide a photo for the slideshow. The college is requesting to use University ID photos for students who don't provide a photo. Is this acceptable?
A: Yes and no. At the University of Minnesota, photos are not directory information, so students must grant permission for them to be publicly displayed (or shared). If students opt to provide a photo, those can be used for the slideshow, but the college can't simply insert a University ID picture for students who didn't provide one.
