Pupils from ethnic minorities recount experiences with university law enforcement that were less than positive. mrdoomits via Getty Images. A video surfaced showing a 20-year-old African American student being taken into custody at Winston-Salem State University on December. On 14, 2022, her dispute with her professor caused public interest to be reignited regarding the sometimes debatable part of campus police. Jarell Skinner-Roy, a doctoral student from the University of Michigan, is researching how people from minority backgrounds experience police surveillance at colleges and universities. He discusses the importance of the occurrence at the Black college in North Carolina. What can this video teach us? To me, this is more supporting indication of how colleges and universities typically work to extend the “penal system” as a few intellectuals have named it. This includes imprisonment, but it also involves how people think the police should be involved in disagreements and arguments. There is already a large quantity of evidence suggesting that people of color are disproportionately targeted by the prison system. The initial research that I am conducting is displaying that this is a valid fact in higher education. To me, the occurrence demonstrates how universities and colleges make use of law enforcement against students.
