After ending armed police patrols of student housing in the wake of the George Floyd protests, the University of Washington has reversed its decision and will bring back armed police patrols of UW dorms.
that UW failed to bargain with Teamsters Union Local 117, which represents the University of Washington Police Department, over the end of patrol shifts around the dorms. The report found that the university failed to inform UWPD about removing armed officers from the residence halls before introducing unarmed Campus Security Responders .
“The employer’s decision to create the CSR position and, eventually, assign CSRs to patrol residence halls at night in lieu of armed Campus Police Officers was made by the employer in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and in response to demands by the Black Student Union on campus,” the report reads. “One of the demands was to “Disarm and Divest from UWPD.
The report concludes that the interest of the unionized officers to maintain their patrol shifts outweighs the university’s priority in rehabilitating its image in relation to public safety officers on campus. The decision was not unanimous though, with Commissioner Mark Busto noting that UWPD and the union failed to provide any proof that reassigning dorm patrols away from armed officers and assigning civilian safety officers had any financial impact on union members.
