Brown University placed its police chief on leave as the U.S. Department of Education opened a probe into campus security and surveillance following a fatal shooting that involved a Brown student. The university said it will conduct an internal review while federal investigators assess whether Brown met its obligations for campus safety and whether surveillance systems were adequate. The investigation follows community outcry over the incident and questions about operational readiness and threat reporting. Brown’s statement indicated cooperation with the Education Department; university leaders also signaled an internal review to evaluate protocols and technology. Campus safety reviews triggered by violent incidents often lead to immediate changes in emergency response procedures, training for public-safety officers, and investments in monitoring and communication systems. Provosts, campus safety directors and trustees will need to weigh policy, civil-liberties and resource implications as the inquiry proceeds.
