University of Virginia Library

Security Officers Restricted

"The University security
officers I have talked to are not
being allowed to act like police
officers," he asserted.

Later that evening when asked
about pressing charges he
claimed, "I can't touch the
University. They aren't
answerable to the Circuit Court
anymore. But if they were, I'd
do what I did before–have the
matter set for a hearing."

Jurisdiction over the
University was shifted last
April when the University
asked that the Circuit Court
void the county authority
granted the security force. The
security force was then
re-deputized by the city's
Corporation Court.
