University of Minnesota students rallied yesterday to demand President Joan Gabel (@joan_gabel) create a Campus CPAC (Civilian Police Accountability Council) composed of elected students and community members to oversee the campus police department. In August, the University hired Cedric Alexander, a former police officer and director at the Department of Homeland Security to lead an internal review of the UMPD. Yesterday's protesters marched through campus as incoming freshmen moved into housing.
