Any individual playing a prominent role in a videotape or audio tape must sign a model release. This includes any guest lecturer, speaker, panel member or performer who IS NOT an employee of the University of Akron. In the case of minors, a parent or guardian is required to sign a model release stating they are aware of, and approve of, the videotaping of their child by the University. As a courtesy, always inform your guest speakers that you intend to videotape them. Many speakers cannot, or do not, wish to be videotaped, audio taped or photographed.
