美国公民自由联盟以校园警察透明度为由起诉Brown, 要求获得公共记录, ACLU sues Brown over campus police transparency, demanding public records access despite private status.

罗得岛的ACLU对布朗大学提起诉讼, 重新引发全国对私立学校校园警察透明度的辩论。 A lawsuit against Brown University by the ACLU of Rhode Island is renewing national debate over campus police transparency at private colleges. 该诉讼案辩称,布朗的警官拥有充分的执法权力,尽管该大学具有私人地位,他们仍应受公共记录法的约束。 The suit argues that Brown’s officers, who have full law enforcement powers, should be subject to public records laws despite the university’s private status. 批评者说,缺乏披露会破坏问责制,引述一名前军官关于秘密的 " 王后军队 " 文化的声称,其重点是保护该机构的形象。 Critics say the lack of disclosure undermines accountability, citing a former officer’s claims of a secretive “Queen’s army” culture focused on protecting the institution’s image. 虽然一些州要求透明度,但大多数州没有透明度,而且联邦报告要求往往不完整。 While some states require transparency, most do not, and federal reporting requirements are often incomplete. 该案突出表明,人们日益关切对私人校园执法的监督问题,在这些校园中,官员在公众监督有限的情况下拥有重要权力。 The case highlights growing concerns about oversight for law enforcement on private campuses where officers wield significant authority with limited public scrutiny.
