With nowhere to look but forward, the Oklahoma State Polo Club is turning to the community for new land, materials and any help it can get while it tries to replace its storage barn after its recent collapse.

Recent strong winds caused the walls and roof to partially give in, said Josh Storey, an agriculture business pre-law senior.

“The barn was getting old,” Storey said. “We finally had to tear the rest of the walls down for safety and salvage everything we could.”

Susan Brand, polo club presi-dent and agriculture economics graduate student, said the club is a hardworking group of students that has been around for more than 10 years.

“We have tryouts every year to be on the competing teams, but we have quite a few members who just come out and ride,” Brand said. “We haven’t been able to practice

in a while.”Fifteen students run the polo

club, a job that includes the man-agement of time-consuming tasks such as taking care of the horses and polo equipment.

“We have some land for our horses to be on, but we lost the shelter we had for all of our impor-tant equipment and the two recov-ery stalls we had for horses that got hurt or sick,” said Devan Groves, an animal science sophomore. “We have a couple of temporary sheds for the horses that need them, but that is just a temporary measure that we are having to take.”

The polo club receives $3,000 from the university every year, but the amount is not near enough to cover the expenses of taking care of 14 horses, Groves said.

He said the club’s expenses in-clude paying for medical bills and spending hundreds of dollars every few weeks on feed.

With club dues coming in at $325 a semester per member, the amount partially covers only some of the expenses needed to proceed with the season and other club activities.

“Right after the barn collapsed, we also learned that the land we’re occupying will no longer be avail-able to us within the next couple of years,” Brand said. “On top of re-building now, we also are in search of potential acres for our horses to live on.”

The club has reached a halt in its practice schedule as members try to plan out its next move, Brand said.

“We are trying to do as much work as we can,” Brand said. “But, because of the time of the year, we are all gone a lot for breaks. We do what we can with our schedules.”

Quinn Llewellyn, a management and finance sophomore, said the club started a GoFundMe to help raise money and achieve the goal

of about $10,000. “We are starting out with a rea-

sonable goal, but we know that as we take these next couple of steps, we will have to raise more money,” Llewellyn said.

So far, the club has raised about $1,100 since the website was started.

“In addition to donations, we are really asking for contact informa-tion,” Brand said. “We want to get in touch with alumni who would be

interested in helping us rebuild and hopefully find a permanent space.”

Oklahoma State University routinely keeps secret the names of students, faculty or anyone else arrested for committing crimes on campus.

University officials redact

the names of individuals issued criminal summonses — no-tices to appear in court — from campus police reports until the Payne County District Attor-ney’s Office files charges. If no charges are filed, the name of the person remains secret.

Of the police reports the O’Colly has obtained, OSU po-lice have issued at least 54 sum-monses since September 2014. Charges have been filed in 35 of those cases, meaning the public doesn’t know the names of at least 19 people accused of com-mitting crimes on campus.

Keeping the names secret leaves the public wondering

what OSU is hiding and wheth-er all offenders of the law are receiving the same treatment, said Jonathan Anderson, chair of the Society of Professional Journalist Freedom of Informa-tion Committee.

“Are donors, faculty, students and celebrated athletes held to the same standard?” Anderson asked. “The university — a taxpayer-funded, public institu-tion — says that’s none of the public’s business.”

OSU basketball player Antho-ny Allen was issued a summons for possession of marijuana in February, but his name was kept secret for more than a month until charges were filed after the season ended in March.

OSU officials claim the uni-versity doesn’t have to release the names of students issued summonses because they have not been arrested.

But a host of experts disagree.Officials for the U.S. Depart-

ment of Education and the police department for Okla-homa City Community College, as well as open government experts, assert a criminal sum-mons is an arrest and, therefore, the names are public when the summons is issued.

The federal Clery Act, de-signed to improve reporting of campus crime, defines an arrest as “persons processed by arrest, citation or summons,” accord-ing to the U.S. Department of Education.

OCCC’s police chief said universities lawfully can’t redact the name of someone who has been given a ticket or arrested.

“Here, if somebody came in and wanted to look at all the tickets we’ve written on cam-pus, we would show them to

them,” Fitzpatrick said. “I don’t know what I would use as a basis of saying, ‘I’m not gonna show them to you.’

“If they’ve written up a report and they’ve cited someone for possession of marijuana, I don’t know how they’re keeping (the names) from you.”

Oklahoma’s criminal proce-dure statute affirms that a law enforcement officer who has arrested a person on a misde-meanor charge or violation of city ordinance may issue a cita-tion to appear in court.

The Oklahoma Open Records Act requires law enforcement

agencies to make public the de-scription — including the name, date of birth, address, sex, race, physical description and occu-pation — of people arrested.

An attorney at Hall Estill in Oklahoma City said the name of the person issued a summons is a public record and should be available to the public upon request.

“It seems to me that OSU continues its practice of play-ing word games with the Open Records Act,” Robert Nelon said in an email. “An arrest doesn’t mean that you’re taken

to jail. If you are detained by a law enforcement officer long enough to be issued a citation or summons for some offense, then you have been ‘arrested’ within the meaning of the (Open Re-cords Act).”

Carrie Hulsey-Greene, OSU associate communications director and spokesperson for OSUPD, said the university has discretion to withhold the identities of students who have been issued summonses.

“If our officers issue a sum-mons/notice to appear, we will not be releasing the name of the person who’s issued that summons/notice to appear until they have been charged by the court,” Hulsey-Greene said. “That is within our discretion of the Open Records law whether or not to do that.”

Hulsey-Greene said that ac-cording to OSU’s legal office, it is within the university’s discretion to “err on the side of privacy.”

The Student Press Law Center’s executive director said Oklahoma law does not allow that discretion.

“The university is wrong on the law,” Frank LoMonte said. “Oklahoma law is actually very clear that there is no ‘discretion-ary personal privacy’ exemp-tion.”

LoMonte said the statute en-titles the public, without excep-tion, to information about every arrestee despite whether charges have been filed.

“Students are not some spe-cial ‘invisible class’ of arrestee,” LoMonte said.

Even when charges are filed by the Payne County District Attorney’s Office, it’s difficult for the public to know who was charged. Outside of name

and date on the OSUPD police report, no corresponding identi-fiers connect the incident report to the charges filed on Okla-homa’s court database.

Anderson said the university should reconsider its position, which raises questions about its compliance with the Open Records Act.

“Under the guise of protecting student privacy, OSU is shield-ing from public view the identi-ties of all people who have been issued citations and summonses by police,” Anderson said in an email. “Yet OSU has failed to articulate why there is a legiti-mate privacy interest in the first place: Why should any adult — student or not — be entitled to keep alleged violations of public policy and law a secret?”

Anderson said even if some degree of privacy is at stake, OSU is ignoring the public’s interest in how police exercise power. He argued that students and taxpayers can’t efficiently monitor OSUPD’s actions and know whether officers are doing their jobs effectively and fairly if the public doesn’t know who re-ceives citations and summonses.

By making it difficult to de-termine whether people accused of crimes were subjects of com-plaints or involved in incidents that weren’t prosecuted, OSU is prohibiting the public from completely assessing crime and identifying trends on campus, Anderson said.

“(The university’s) decision breeds distrust of law enforce-ment and casts a cloud over the police department, shaping how the public interacts with of-ficers,” Anderson said. “People may wonder: What is OSU hiding?”

Enough with secrecy, transparency is key

When it comes to the dis-semination of law enforce-ment records, Oklahoma State University needs to be transparent.

OSU is redacting the names of students who are issued summonses until the Payne County District Attorney’s Office files charges. OSU asserts that the issuance of a criminal summons is not an arrest and, therefore, information about the student should be kept private.

OSU should release names associated with summonses. The public has a right to know how law enforcement officials are handling crimes on campus and who in the community is accused of committing crimes. Barring members of the media from accessing these names hurts the pub-lic. The O’Colly, among other news organizations, is responsible for disseminat-ing that information.

The practice of redacting police reports when a sum-mons is issued and charges have not been filed is habit-ual for the university. OSU says awarding students who have made a mistake with a second chance should be the university’s goal.

It’s egregioud to hide behind the argument that keeping the names of indi-viduals secret, particularly students, is a beneficial practice for young students adjusting to adulthood. You cannot shield an alleged criminal’s identity from the public because the criminal is young and made a mis-take.

By making this argument, the university is prioritizing the privacy of the student rather than the public’s right to know. The pub-lic — taxpayers, students, professors, members of the community and donors — has a right to know who is committing crimes at a university it helps fund.

When the name is redact-ed from a police report, it is extremely difficult to track the case through the judicial process. Without a name, the only identifiers the pub-lic can use are the offense and date of the offense. The inability to keep tabs on cases as charges are filed — or not filed — keeps the public in the dark.

As Oklahomans, accord-ing to state public policy, we are “vested with the in-herent right to know and be fully informed about (our) government so that (we) can efficiently and intelli-

gently exercise (our) inher-ent political power.”

The O’Colly believes redacting law enforcement records prohibits that right.

In a statement issued last year, OSU said it would release student names asso-ciated with parking tickets. The university said the distinction between parking tickets and police reports is parking tickets are issued by Parking and Transporta-tion services and, therefore, are not law enforcement records.

By this standard, the public is entitled to know which students have re-ceived parking tickets in the last month, but not indi-viduals who have received summonses for drug of-fenses.

The blatant refusal to distribute arrestee informa-tion might cause the public to wonder what else OSU might be hiding. With names on reports being withheld, the public has no way of knowing who is and who is not being charged. Are athletes, professors and other university employees receiving preferential treat-ment?

We don’t know unless we have the documentation.

editorial I The public has a right to know how law enforcement officials are handling crimes on campus and who in the community is accused of committing crimes.
