The use of still or video images from the campus for advocacy of political positions or candidacies is strictly prohibited. _______________________________________________________ So while typically limiting commercial photography, which is understandable (and it is a private school, not public), they do NOT mention any prohibitions on private-use photography.

The main problem is, the security staff there have a combined IQ of 12. They constantly harass the students. We even successful got a restraining order against one of them because they were targeting a female student friend of mine. He was no longer even allowed to patrol the building she was in.
