BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana University is warning professors of one issue they might come across when doing Zoom video calls with their class — students showing up naked.

The Indiana Daily Student says Media School instructors were sent an email, reminding them to report any instances of nudity because it violates the Code of Students Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct.

“It’s considered sexual harassment,” IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said.

Carney said students who choose to expose themselves during Zoom calls is subject to suspension or expulsion, and will also be psychologically evaluated on a case-by-case.

Zoom calls are considered university property during class, so, Carney says, IU can treat those situations as if they happened on campus or in a classroom.

Students who notice any nudity during a Zoom call are encouraged to report it to the Office of Student Conduct.
