  • Description: According to the most recently released U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) data, 68 percent of all colleges and universities with student enrollment of 2,500 or greater employ sworn law enforcement officers. The issue is currently before the courts in Utah, where the Salt Lake Tribune is suing Brigham Young University (BYU) for access to reports about how campus police became embroiled in a disciplinary investigation, in which a rape victim faced student conduct charges for violating the university's prohibition on unwed sexual activity. In addition to the annual report, she convinced the Senate to add that "the police department shall allow a person or governmental unit to access information in the same manner as a person or governmental unit would be able to access a public record of a [public] law enforcement agency under the Public Information Act," if the documents relate solely to law enforcement functions (as opposed, for example, to salary data or officers' personnel files). The university took on full policing authority after enactment of the Private College Campus Police Act in 1992, enabling private postsecondary institutions to apply to the state for law enforcement certification.
