There may be an entity more dreaded on American campuses than conservatives.

Drones.

Timothy Dionisopoulos of Campus Reform reports on the resolution passed by a student government in Florida:

The student government at Santa Fe College (SFC) in Gainesville, Florida, voted 18-4 last week for a resolution that denounced the use of militarized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) on their campus.

The resolution, cleared on April 3, was sponsored by the Santa Fe College chapter of the libertarian student group, Young Americans for Liberty (YAL).

YAL member and SFC student senator Colby Cashion warned Campus Reform of the dangers he perceives drones could pose to student’s civil liberties on campus.

“Civil liberties of students should be a basic tenant of every college’s student government and this resolution was simply an example of that,” he said. “Military style drones that are used for surveilling [sic] students are a clear violation of rights guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment.

“I’m happy that the student senate at Santa Fe College recognized that,” he added.

SFC Police Chief Ed Book also threw his support behind the resolution, saying he did not intend to follow the example of other campus police departments that have attempted to acquire drones.

“This is great that they are forward thinking and talking about technology today and thinking ahead about the way that may impact the college campus,” he told Campus Reform.  “[T]he position is there no intent for Santa Fe College to use now or in the immediate future drones.”

Josh Norris, the President of SFC YAL, told Campus Reform the group was inspired by Sen. Rand Paul’s anti-drones March filibuster as well as a similar resolution passed at Fresno State.

“There was a little debate but they resolved it and it passed with a pretty good majority,” he said Norris.
