Tensions are growing between student leaders at the University of Minnesota and the campus police department.
The Minnesota Student Association issued a letter to university leaders this week, calling for UMPD Police Chief Matthew Clark to resign, saying he has failed to increase campus wellness and safety for students of color.
The letter also claimed Clark failed to act on countless accusations of discrimination and approved sending university officers to recent protests in Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS spoke with students on campus Tuesday, who echoed some of those concerns. University police should be confined to strictly university issues, said freshman Fletcher Hubbard. I know the president has talked about the UMPD not being dispatched to other areas in Minneapolis and alas, it has still been happening.
