In Michigan, Oakland University's student paper, the Oakland
Post sued the university in June, demanding the release of a
campus police report about the May kidnapping and rape of a
student in a campus parking lot.
On the day the matter was to go to court, the school agreed to
open the information to the journalists.
Similarly, student reporters at West Virginia University in
Morgantown are trying to pry complete crime reports from the
campus police department.
Many colleges argue that releasing information about crimes
violates the 1974 Buckley Privacy Amendment.
Congress is close to passing legislation that would require
college administrators to tell the public when crimes occur on their
campuses.
"I just want to know what the police are doing all day, and I want to
see their records," said Dawn Miller, managing editor of the Daily
Athenaeum at West Virginia.
A weekly summary she receives from the campus police chief has
watered down versions of crimes, and some crimes never make the
report at all, Miller explained. "Whenever there's something
serious, we just hear about it."
The paper is trying to work out a solution with the university
without taking the matter to court, Miller said.
