Perhaps a show about the on-going debate about law enforcement on Oregon public college campuses? OHSU, the Oregon University System (via the Governor) and the officers who currently WORK on OUS campuses have all taken drastically different positions as the legislature heats up (see Senate Bill 658 and House Bills that will be forthcoming relating to 352.385).

Every state except Hawaii allows public universities to organize and operate their own police departments with the same authority as municipal or state departments. Oregon rescinded that ability in the 1970s. In my opinion this would make an excellent and engaging topic.
