Board Policy
The Colorado Constitution and Colorado Revised Statutes vest the supervision and control of the Colorado State University System and its institutions in the Board of Governors. The System Institutions are Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado State University Pueblo, and Colorado State University Global Campus. The Board of Governors has such powers, rights, and privileges that are granted to it under applicable law, including, but not limited to, promulgating rules and regulations for the health, safety, and welfare of students, employees, and campuses, and promulgating rules and regulations necessary for the governance and operations of the System and its institutions. Also, under Colorado law, the Board is specifically authorized to promulgate policy regarding the identification of persons who are on property owned or controlled by the Board, System, and the System Institutions. Accordingly, the Board of Governors is adopting this policy to provide an additional campus safety tool for the System and its institutions.
Persons who are authorized by the System or a System Institution to provide safety, security, or building or facility management services, including but not limited to law enforcement or other security personnel, may ask for proper identification of any person who is on property or in a building or facility under the control of the System or a System Institution for the purpose of obtaining proper identification of any such person. The authorized person may detain a person for the sole purpose of obtaining proper identification if such person refuses to display their identification card or otherwise give adequate identification upon request by an authorized individual. In addition, all persons on property or in a building or facility under the control of the System or a System Institution must identify themselves upon request of a System or System Institution employee who reasonably suspects that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime or a violation of a Board, System, or System Institution policy, rule, or regulation.
Procedures and Guidelines
In accordance with this policy, the System and each System Institution may adopt its own policies, procedures, or guidelines that are consistent with this policy to ensure that this policy is followed in order to help protect the safety of the campus community. This Board policy is meant to supplement those campus safety policies and plans for the System and at each System Institution.
