This decision is most likely going to lead to another school shooting, unwarranted and absolutely heartbreaking for the community. Just stick to tazers or at most, rubber bullets.

Given the recent attention to the abuses of power by police in Ferguson, MO and across the country, I can't fathom why PSU would consider making this change now. Perhaps there are compelling arguments for this change, but student voice deserves a space in this conversation.

I didn't like it when there was talk of it a few years ago and I'm even more upset about this now. If you ever hope to get a dime of donations from me I wouldn't do this. I can't support this university when you are creating an environment of fear for students under the guise of safety.

This is a major issue for us as the nation faces increased militarization, and people of color are often profiled and criminalized despite innocence. The learning environment for these students is becoming unsafe.
2. A major argument for deputizing police is to reduce sexual assaults, but advocates against sexual assault claim the way to prevent them is by changing the rape culture. They do not believe officers can solve this problem for they only follow up after a rape has occurred. Plus officers engage in what these activists call a "Second Rape" when they test for semen, and the stop and frisk for women is known to make them very uncomfortable, with some situations ending in rape by officer.
3. Students from the union also don't want 1.5 million spent on deputizing the campus police (this is only a start up cost, more money will be spent, and will increase tuition) when there are alternatives like the Portland Peace Team, which is led by the faculty advisor for the Conflict Resolution Program at PSU.
