The American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island filed a lawsuit against Brown University challenging the secrecy of its campus police records. The ACLU argues that Brown's police department, which has state-authorized police powers, should comply with Rhode Island's public records law, making arrest reports and incident documents accessible to the public. This legal challenge highlights ongoing concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability for law enforcement officers employed by private colleges, which are generally exempt from disclosing such records. Brown University has filed a motion to dismiss the suit, and the state attorney general's office has sided with Brown police in previous related complaints. The case raises important questions about public access to police records on private campuses and the balance between privacy and accountability.
