CWRU introduces new Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Drone Policy

To mitigate safety risks and uphold university expectations regarding privacy, Case Western Reserve University recently introduced a new Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Drone Policy. 

This policy, which takes effect today (Oct. 1) states:

  • Drone users must pre-register all flights through CampusGroups to be reviewed and approved by the Division of Public Safety;  
  • Drone users must follow Federal Aviation Administration rules;
  • CWRU members and vendors with a CWRU contract may use drones on campus; 
  • Users are responsible for any damage caused; and
  • There can be no unauthorized recording.
