You would have to ask the FAA about that--the EFF sued them, not OU. OU is just on a list of entities that have requested permission to fly drones. You know, because you need the FAA's permission to fly drones in the US.If the information is that readily available and they are that forthcoming, I just have to ask why it takes a freedom of information act request and filing a lawsuit to get what little information there is about their program?
Like I said, if you want to know why OU has asked for permission to fly drones in the US, call OU's Public Affairs office ( http://www.ou.edu/publicaffairs.html ; 405-325-1701 ) and ask them.
