The holiday season is here again, and many university students will return in January sporting a brand new drone. Drones have come a long way from the unwieldy RC copters of the past, and modern drones can operate across several miles with great precision and with mounted cameras, microphones, and other sensors. However, federal and state regulators have not established a robust and uniform regulatory framework for drone operation, leaving smaller jurisdictions, including colleges and universities, to fill the gaps.
