Campus Police Patrolling Off the Campus? Sure, but the Rules Vary
Four days after a campus police officer shot and killed a 43-year-old man during an off-campus traffic stop, Santa J. Ono, the University of Cincinnati’s president, announced an overhaul of the university’s police department.

Lincoln Prof Blasts ‘Dirty Jewish’ Thugs, ‘Homo Uprising,’ and ‘Sluts’
A longtime Lincoln University professor drew ire from Pennsylvania officials in 2010 when he called for the destruction of Israel and questioned whether the Holocaust ever happened. But Kaukab Siddique, a 72-year-old associate professor of English, kept his job. Now he's mouthing off again. "Don't be scared of these dirty Jewish Zionist White Supremacist thugs," he wrote in a Facebook post in May. Earlier this month he wondered why it took Bill Cosby's accusers so long to come forward.

Does Temple University Still Have a Bill Cosby Problem?
For decades, comedian Bill Cosby was the very public face of Temple University, an alumnus promoting the school and its mission. He wore his Temple t-shirt on his popular TV show, routinely spoke at the school’s commencement ceremonies and hosted a convocation class for freshmen: “Cosby 101.” This winter, after numerous women accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting them, Cosby resigned from Temple’s Board of Trustees. Cosby has never admitted sexually assaulting a woman, nor has he been criminally charged.
