The U.S. Department of Education has opened a review of Brown University’s campus security practices, including surveillance systems, following a recent on-campus shooting. Brown announced it will conduct an internal investigation while cooperating with federal authorities. Education Department officials are examining whether security measures met applicable standards; Brown’s statement stressed support for the community and promised transparency. The inquiry signals increased federal scrutiny of campus safety protocols and could influence federal guidance on surveillance, emergency response planning, and reporting obligations for colleges that experience mass-violence incidents.
