Rodney Chatman, the University Vice President for Public
Safety and Emergency Management, was placed on administrative leave just
before Christmas.
Chatman
had previously been the Chief of the University of Utah police
department. At the end of 2020 he was placed on administrative leave
from that position. He was charged administratively with "impersonating
a police officer." Apparently he did in fact NOT have a certificate
from the Utah POST board. He left that position permanently in 2021
according to the university. According to Chatman's LinkedIn profile he
was still there as of 2023.
According
to the feds Brown University is under a "program review" to determine
whether or not the campus complies with security requirements necessary
to receive federal money.
Hugh Clements, formerly the Chief of Police of the city of Providence,
is taking over as the interim Chief of the Brown University police. He
will be in charge of the after action report of the shooting and of
implementation of new security protocols, most of which are supposed to
be in place when classes resume June 6.
