Cops don't belong on universities

What if they want to finally become literate?

Eh. There are times when a person in a uniform with some degree of authority on campus would be legitimately helpful, but they're never around for those moments.

UT campus rape was an epidemic when I was in school, back in the mid-'00s, and the police were notorious for just looking the other way.
