A male student came into the Gourmet Dining room, wanting to photograph the student workers, and asked for their personal information. The student said that he was in a photography class and wanted them to be his models. The student workers had felt uncomfortable with him asking for their information and contacted security. The student is known previously for doing the same thing but at the JSB Café. The first time security made contact with him last semester they found that he wasn’t enrolled in any photography classes. As of this semester he is enrolled in the class. The Chair of the department talked the student about the guidelines, which are mentioned in the class syllabus, on how to ask for people to be models. The man has not been to JSB or Gourmet Dining since.
