"There are still some complaints
about the policy but it seems to be
effectively controlling the problem.
This is an effort to give some
protection to the student
population in general. The students
here use the Union for study and
recreation and it should be for their
use."
"My sense is that it has been a
positive action because the new
police force has been in place
when the level of physical violence
on campus has increased and has
been able to help in the situation
and keep the campus safe."
"Any student has the right to go
through the process and get
elected. It has been an ongoing
discussion for my 20 years on the
board. The board in general has
never been in favor of appointing a
student member and I am not
either."

"I know there was some trouble in
the Union and I guess we
implemented this policy to prevent
it in the future."
"I think it was a necessary step for
campus safety. So far it seems to
be working well. It is still up for
reevaluation."
"The constitution doesn't permit it.
It would be a conflict of interest.
The students have at least as much
input as they would with a student
on the board when they
communicate to us through the
student government or through the
vice president for student affairs."

"I believe that the policy was
initiated to control numbers. I think
it should be reevaluated to see if it
has helped anything. I know there
have been some complaints.
Sometimes problems develop with
the solution to another problem."
- The authorization to have
deputized police on campus had
been made a year-and-a-half ago.
The episode in February was
simply a transfer of the authority ...
Despite the fact that there was a
great deal of misunderstanding, I
feel that the transfer was in
everybody's best interest."
"If a student wants to run and be
elected, I have no problem, but it
would have to be by the normal
political process in the constitution.
There is no authority to put a
student on the board as an ex-
officio non-voting member. If a
student just wants to sit in on a
meeting, the meetings are open to
the public."
"To appoint a student to the board,
it would have to be a ballot issue
and be approved by the voters of
Michigan. This is probably
impossible. If a student could go
through the regular channels - the
state political parties - and be
elected, it would be fine to have
one on the board."

"There is an influx of people from
outside of the campus community
who come in to mix witht he
students, and create unsafe
conditions, such as problems in the
Union. After students come into
contact with the problem it is too
late, so you have to be
overprotective in trying to keep
situations from coming up."
"There seems to be a great deal of
concern about this policy and its
enforcement. The issue needs to
be looked into."
"The police force was here to
begin with. The issue of
jurisdiction is really what changed.
Placing the jurisdiction over the
force under the regents adds to the
accountability of the force."

"We need to make sure that our
force responds to the special needs
and characteristics of the
University. Our officers must be
very well-trained and carefully
selected."
"There does not need to be a
student on the board because we
are accessible. State law requires
us to hold public meetings in
public places which are large and
intimidating, but I have an office in
Ann Arbor, and I return my calls.
People can always talk to me."

"The policy is being reviewed to
see if there is a problem with it."
"I felt then and I feel now that the
city police force was efficiently
controlling crime on campus. The
cost of the campus police force is
excessive, and when there is a
major problem, we call in the city
police for help anyway."
"If a student wants to get on the
board, they should go through the
process like the rest of us:The idea
is a good one, but it would take a
great deal of work by the student."

"I think the policy should be
investigated."
" Make sure the officers have
adequate sensitivity training. Make
sure the force understands the
situation."
"Although the constitution does
not allow for a student to be placed
on the board, I would not object to
a student running for a seat and
being elected to a regular term."

"it is important that the policy
solve the problems without
causing other problems."
"( he protesters) didn't have any
effect on my decision making
process."
"If a student becomes a regent by
the regular means, I think it would
be an asset to the board."
