From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 23, 1975:

The Buckley Amendment, enacted recently by the U.S. Congress to give students access to their personal records, might produce “a generation of college students with police records,” according to Mike Thomas, director of security and parking at Kansas University. The legislation was to open educational records to students, while closing them to persons outside the academic sphere, without the student’s permission. Thomas said that in the case of the KU police department, this could bring an end to campus police leniency toward what Thomas referred to as “campus pranks.” Under the new law, police records would become educational records if shared with educational personnel, which had been happening at KU when records were shared after KUPD had decided against an arrest and chose to leave discipline up to the the Office of Student Affairs. Under the amendment, however, “we have to sit down and make a decision on the manpower, time and availability to go through all the red tape” of setting aside the record and transferring it to an educational office to be dealt with there, Thomas said. “It will become a complicated procedure and it might cause us to make more arrests to simplify it.”
