When it comes to hindsight most individuals have 20/20 vision, which is clear in the article “Background Check.” The article at first glance appears to be an article about the hiring process of the University Police Department. However, in the midst of a description of the polygraph procedure, the writers mentioned information from the personnel files of two of the officers involved in the shooting of student Kofi Adu-Brempong.

After the Gainesville Police Department saw an increase in crime from 2008 to 2009, the city has seen another increase, and this time, it’s a good thing.
Modern students are not interested in learning. They are interested in passing their tests and getting good grades. It doesn’t matter how much you know, it only matters how well you regurgitate information. Why has American education devolved to this point? One reason is the loss of American industry to foreign countries with cheap labor. This has constricted the job market, making a college degree much more important. Employers give preeminence to the institution. Thus to get into excellent schools, you have to have top grades. Yet is there also a cultural backlash against questioning authority? The 1970s saw massive student protests that played a pivotal role in our withdrawal from Vietnam.

During my four years at UF, it was obvious that Bernie Machen’s administration had zero concern for the Student Body. When Andrew Meyer was Tasered, when the Graduate Assistants United asked for slightly higher pay to teach classes, and when entire programs were cut without student input, the administration stood squarely against the students. Maybe it is fortunate that the worst offense to the Student Body came the year after I graduated and migrated north. Even if the brutal maiming of Kofi Adu-Brempong was somehow justified, it is the administration’s duty to stand up for its students. The University Police Department exists to protect the Student Body, and when a student is left with gruesome injuries at the hands of a UPD officer, the Student Body deserves an explanation and an investigation. Machen and the UF administration have once again failed the Student Body; blessing a handful of students with a meeting is not enough to fulfill the obligations that Machen is handsomely paid to perform. It has never been more clear that this university needs a new direction and new leadership. We need a university president whose loyalty and responsibilities don’t end with collecting a massive paycheck, and we need justice for the UF Student Body.
Five student organizers of Tuesday’s rally for Kofi Adu-Brempong, the graduate student recently shot by the University Police Department, met with President Bernie Machen and other administrators Thursday afternoon to discuss what the university can do to help meet protesters’ demands.
Kofi Adu-Brempong was afraid he was going to be kidnapped, taken to Africa and slain in a ritual killing.
It goes without saying that students should not have to fear the police who are employed to protect them. Kofi Adu-Brempong’s incident is surely a moment the University Police Department should learn from. But the student organizations calling for the end of the Critical Incident Response Team are clearly missing the point.
Editor’s Note: This is the first segment of a two-part series describing the teams employed by the university to respond in crisis situations.
