In the wake of national protests against racism and police brutality, colleges and universities are taking a hard look at their own policing practices. University of California student activists are calling for the university to abolish its in-house police department, and the Peralta Community College District recently voted to end its contract with the Alameda County Sheriff's Department. Some campuses are announcing more gradual changes to the way they ensure safety, such as shifting some responsibilities to unarmed security guards or mental health counselors.
Join KQED and CalMatters for a ranging discussion with students and administrators about how we rethink the role of police on campuses.
