Departments and individuals are not permited to install private security camera systems on campus.
Pursuant to Section 39(2) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (1990), the images from CCTV are collected under the authority of the University of Toronto Act (1978) and are used to monitor the safety and security of the premises, to assist in investigations and other related and consistent purposes.
