The review reports, citing Cole (2021), that at Northwestern University Black students are six percent of the student body yet 40% of campus police stops, and cites disproportionate stops at UCLA. A College Pulse (2022) survey found only 31% of Black students said campus police make them feel safer.
"at Northwestern University, Black students comprise just six percent of the student body yet make up 40% of campus police stops on campus (Cole, 2021)."
