Law Enforcement and Student Relations Committee

The Law Enforcement and Student Relations Committee was an ad-hoc committee established by Student Association President Jarrod Eaton during the 2015-16 academic year.

The committee planned a campus event called "A Day in Discussion."

When Eaton announced the committee, he said that it would provide a healthy and constructive environment to discuss components relating to both law enforcement and students, and mend common misconceptions regarding law enforcement and students.

The committee's creation was inspired by an event in February of that year. SVSU student DaJuawn Wallace was charged with felony fleeing and eluding after driving to a well-lit area after being stopped near the SVSU campus. Prosecutors dropped the charges after the case generated national news coverage. At the time, SVSU president Donald Bachand also announced that more "multi-cultural training" would be held across campus as well  as greater integration of officers with students through other campus activities.
