The University of Illinois Student Senate passed a resolution Monday calling for a review of campus police to ensure officers do not frighten students by doing their jobs.
In October, police recovered a stolen cell phone from a student after tracking it to a classroom on campus, prompting the professor to claim that they "terrified" students with their mere presence.
The culprit, however, admitted that purchasing the stolen phone was "wrong," and told officers that he did not feel "stereotyped" by the encounter.
