Attorney: 'Impartial' police, not ASU, should run hockey player collapse probe The case of Arizona State hockey player Matthew Mayich's collapse during a team workout has raised concerns about the impartiality of campus police investigations.
In a letter to ASU's general counsel, attorney Rob Carey argues that an independent agency should take over the probe due to the inherent conflict of interest when university personnel investigate incidents involving their own students.
Carey's argument is straightforward: even if the investigation is conducted with impeccable objectivity, it will inevitably be seen as tainted by institutional bias.
