Professor Bill Allen, a former St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter, is teaching
a three-hour course titled "Science Investigative Reporting: Drone
Journalism."
The class is using drones made by the school's engineering department.

To fly a drone in US National Air Space (NAS), requires FAA licensing, which
includes certification that the drone is safe, and that it is flown by
someone who has a pilot's license. I do not see U of Missouri on list of
authorized drone licensees which EFF found out from FAA via FOIA.

es-leaves-many-questions-unanswered
They keep adding to the list, so maybe UM is on a list I have not yet seen.
If flying exclusively indoors, drones do not need FAA licensing.
I am sure that as soon as someone is caught flying a drone inside Congress,
White House, a Legislature, Court Building, or other official site, this
loophole will be altered.
