Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

But campus security sounds like something completely different, security guards do not have the same legal authorizations police have.
I have absolutely heard about school security, but never about school police.
bigger campuses now have them licensed as police, and they are legal to execute police powers within the jurisdiction of the campus it is common.
Wow that's insane!
So they are NOT real police, but more like a private police force?
I seem to be getting mixed messages here.
if you are on campus property they have REAL police powers, so don't just treat them as enhanced security guards. Lot's of hospitals here have them now too
It probably depends on the college. At my college, they're real police. I've taken training alongside them (for example, a class on responding to a mental health crisis), and trainings they've taught (ex: deescalation).
The campus police want us to believe that they're focused on keeping everyone safe while minimizing the students' exposure to the legal system. They're paid by the college and the college wants to retain students. They'll send students to campus programs (counseling, primarily) instead of arresting them, that sort of thing. And there are problems on campus where you want some sort of security: walking back to your car at night after a creepy encounter with a patron, someone backs in to your car in the parking garage, someone overdosed in a bathroom.
I do believe them that they're less harsh than the city police, but that's not saying much.
