Wow, not sure if a money grab or what. I remember campus police and when they changed. Pretty much no difference except regular police had more power and means of enforcement.

Eta. I believe marines 4 auburn(not sure if that's correct) on here was also good friends with this girl.

Definite money grab. No way to prove that an on campus force could have prevented that. Only way to prevent this kind of stuff is to go big brother.

Glad the perp received capital punishment. He's a walking endorsement of why the death penalty is necessary and quite frankly, should be used much more often than it is.

so in the event that Alabama, Auburn or any state institution was guilty in a legit case for monetary damage.... the tax payers money pays for it, not the university? wtf?

Such a sad situation. I feel so bad for the family, and hope the Lauren Burk Memorial Scholarship lives forever. I just don't see how they can fault AU for this. Did the campus cops go away? Yes, but Auburn City cops took their place. It's not like the University was left to run like the Wild West.

Just not sure what the family is looking to get out of this, if it's not about money.

I can't imagine the pain that must be involved losing a child, no matter the circumstances. That being said, I wonder what this will accomplish and how will it help this not happen again or help them get over their pain.

The Journal reports Burk's family believes Auburn might have prevented the crime had the school had a campus police department and that the university failed to follow federal security recommendations.

The university has relied upon Auburn city police to patrol its campus since the school dissolved its campus police force in the 2000s as a cost-saving measure, according to The Journal.


Hell, give me city police. It'd save some University money since about all Campus Police are good for is to write tickets.
