(i.e., a Christian becomes president of Islamic student group).

I just don't get it.
Oddly many schools have gone from having their own police forces to having a precinct of the city police force on campus as a way to reduce administrative costs and eliminate some problems of jurisdiction. It also makes it harder for domestic violence cases to be swept under the rug. It is percieved as a way to limit opportunities for corruption.
