Student Journalists Scolded for Recording Public Meeting

Date: 1/27/2009 10:15 am

When student journalist Benjamin Guhin attempted to record a Student Life Council Meeting at Fordham University, he didn’t think he was doing anything wrong. But the rules governing student journalists are not always clear, and Fordham Dean of Students Christopher Rodgers believed wrong was precisely what Guhin was doing. Though the meeting was open to the Fordham public, Dean Rodgers and Director of Leadership Caroline Whelan took issue with the tape-recording because Guhin didn’t inform the meeting’s organizers beforehand. The tape recorder, which Guhin placed on a table where others in the room did not initially see it, was discovered by Whelan and given to the Dean Rodgers. Rodgers directed a graduate assistant attempt to delete the tape’s contents. Dean Rodgers and SLC leaders claim they were open to the idea of students tape-recording their meetings, but that the student needed to ask first. According to New York State law, individuals who are party to a conversation may record it without informing the other parties that they are doing so. Further, in Shuldiner v. City University of New York, the New York State Supreme Court decided that, due to the “public nature” of the College of Staten Island Association’s meetings, attendees had a legal right to tape record them. Still, professor of Communication at Fordham, Arthur Hayes, says the right to tape record is not a black and white issue when at a private university. "The general and short answer is: You have only the rights university officials wish to recognize," Hayes said. "Fordham is a private institution. Generally, tape recording would be allowed in public forums. But that's not an absolute right."
