...Supreme Judicial Court struck down a suit brought by The Crimson against Harvard. The newspaper had argued that private university police are bound by the same public records laws as their publicly-funded peers. HUPD’s force includes officers who are deputized by the Middlesex and Suffolk County sheriffs and who are sworn special state police. At present, the only crime information released by HUPD is a brief summary in an online police log. A campus security watchdog group says that’s not enough. “Without this bill, members of the Harvard community will...

As officers of the University, resident deans may search...
Larsen sees the crackdown as a way of targeting the problem without going after the workers directly--an acceptable solution for the sensitive political ecosystem of the Hamptons. Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy, who mainly oversees the more working-class communities west of the Hamptons, takes a more direct approach. Levy, a Democrat, has initiated sting operations on local contractors and helped towns bust lawbreaking landlords. His police also forcibly removed day laborers from a Farmingville 7-Eleven parking lot. Levy says the voters in his county appreciate his strong arm. "There's a tremendous disconnect between the public...
