N.C. Court Limits Powers of Davidson College's Police Officers, Citing First Amendment
August 17, 2010
In a unanimous opinion on Tuesday that may affect other religiously affiliated colleges in North Carolina, a three-judge panel of the state Court of Appeals held that campus police officers at Davidson College cannot be given arrest powers to enforce state law on Constitutional grounds. Davidson is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and the court considered the strength of its ties to the denomination as a factor in its opinion. It was also unclear how many other private colleges with religious affiliations might fit the category identified in Tuesday's ruling.
