The resolution also called to ban \u201call aggressive police tactics, lethal firearms, and excessive use of force during student protests, student events, and any other campus situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But as the Fix noted, the student government doesn\u2019t have control over police funds. It would be up to university officials to accept the student resolution \u2013 and it appears they have not.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Willey, administrative captain with Fullerton\u2019s campus police department, told the Fix that the CSU chancellor said none of the 23 campuses would have their police departments defunded, disarmed, or dissolved.<\/p>\n<p>Willey also told the outlet that student government leaders didn\u2019t speak to the police department to discuss their demands before passing the resolution and that if they had, they would have realized their training demands had already been implemented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they had come and talked to us we could have given them the whole list of what we do,\u201d Willey told the outlet. \u201cBecause you know reform is not new to us, we\u2019re constantly reforming what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the police department had already implemented bias, mental health, and de-escalation training that had been demanded by the student government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything new that comes out we welcome that, we\u2019re always adapting and changing,\u201d Willey told the Fix.<\/p>\n<p>And it seems like the changes have worked, as complaints against the police department are nearly nonexistent. From the Fix:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p><em>Marissa Garza, a spokesperson for the campus police, told\u00a0The Fix\u00a0via email that there were five complaints against the UPD in 2019, and all of them were \u201cunfounded.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Garza added that the police department \u201crespect[s] the rights of our community members to express and voice their concerns in a respectful and lawful manner.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>One former CSUF student told\u00a0The College Fix\u00a0she does not want to see police defunded on campus.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI would say I would feel more scared and definitely less safe,\u201d Aubree Kalinowski said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Student governments at other universities have also tried to defund campus police departments. As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cornell-student-government-fails-to-disarm-police-so-they-expel-opposition-members-and-vote-again\">reported<\/a>, members of Cornell University\u2019s student government tried to pass a resolution last month that would disarm the school\u2019s police, but the resolution failed.<\/p>\n<p>Following that failure, anti-police activists within the student government worked to expel other members who had opposed the resolution and then held a second vote to disarm campus police, which narrowly passed on December 10.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, around the time Fullerton passed their defund police resolution, educators and students across the country took the day off from class to protest the existence of campus police departments, The Daily Wire\u2019s Chrissy Clark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/educators-students-take-day-off-to-protest-the-existence-of-college-police-departments\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
