The campus police department did not renew its annual Flock contract, which ended June 26, 2026; the 8 cameras are deactivated and being removed. Students, faculty, and staff had criticized the system over transparency and oversight, and the Faculty Senate called in April for ending the contract and creating a surveillance oversight board. The department still supports license plate reader technology and plans community input while it looks for a different vendor.
