§ 360. Powers  to  Regulate  Traffic on University Grounds. 1. For the
  purpose of providing for the safety and  convenience  of  its  students,
  faculty,  employees,  and  visitors within and upon the property, roads,
  streets, and highways under the supervision and  control  of  the  state
  university, the board of trustees is hereby authorized to:
a.  Adopt  and enforce such provisions of the vehicle and traffic law,
  or any rules of the state department of transportation adopted under the
  authority of that law, as control or regulate  vehicular  or  pedestrian
  traffic and parking.
b.  Adopt  and  enforce  such additional rules and regulations for the
  control  of  vehicular  or  pedestrian  traffic  and  parking  as  local
  authorities  are  permitted to adopt and enforce pursuant to the vehicle
  and traffic law.
c. Adopt and enforce campus rules  and  regulations  not  inconsistent
  with  the  vehicle  and  traffic  law relating to parking, vehicular and
  pedestrian traffic, and safety. Such rules and regulations  may  include
  provisions  for the disposition of abandoned vehicles, removal by towing
  or otherwise of vehicles parked  in  violation  of  such  rules  at  the
  expense  of  the  owner,  the  payment  of  fees for the registration or
  parking  of  such  vehicles,  provided  that  such  campus   rules   and
  regulations  may provide that any veteran attending the state university
  as a student shall be exempt from any fees for parking or registering  a
  motor vehicle, and the assessment of administrative fines upon the owner
  or  operator  of  such  vehicles  for each violation of the regulations.
  However, no such fine may be imposed without a hearing or an opportunity
  to be heard conducted by an officer or board designated by the board  of
  trustees.  Such  fines,  in  the case of an officer or employee of state
  university, may be deducted from the salary or wages of such officer  or
  employee  found  in  violation  of such regulations, or in the case of a
  student of state university found in violation of such regulations,  the
  university  may  withhold  his  or her grades and transcripts until such
  time as any fine is paid. For purposes of  this  subdivision,  the  term
  "veteran"  shall  mean a member of the armed forces of the United States
  who served in such armed forces in time of war and who (i) was honorably
  discharged or released under honorable circumstances from such  service,
  or  (ii)  has  a  qualifying condition, as defined in section one of the
  veterans' services law, and has received  a  discharge  other  than  bad
  conduct or dishonorable from such service, or (iii) is a discharged LGBT
  veteran,  as  defined  in section one of the veterans' services law, and
  has received a discharge other than bad  conduct  or  dishonorable  from
  such service.
d.  To erect, operate and maintain at the entrance or entrances to any
  such  grounds  and  at  other  appropriate  points  thereon  or  therein
  appropriate control lights, signs and signals.
2. A violation of any section of the vehicle and traffic law or of any
  rule  of  the  state  department  of  transportation  made applicable as
  provided in paragraphs a or b of subdivision  one  hereof,  shall  be  a
  misdemeanor  or traffic infraction as designated in such law or rules as
  the case may be, and shall be punishable as therein provided. Such laws,
  rules and regulations shall be enforced, and  violations  thereof  where
  designated  a  misdemeanor  or traffic infraction shall be punishable in
  any court having jurisdiction in the territory in which such  violations
  shall occur.
3.  Notice  of  all  such laws, rules, and regulations adopted or made
  applicable pursuant to paragraphs a and b of subdivision  one  shall  be
  given  by  filing  a copy of all such laws, rules and regulations in the
  office of the secretary of state, the office of the clerk of  the  city,
  town,  or  village  where they may be enforced, and in the office of the

  campus security director or such other location as may be designated  by
  the  campus  chief  administrative  officer.  Notice of campus rules and
  regulations adopted pursuant to paragraph c of subdivision one shall  be
  given  by  filing  in the office of the campus security director or such
  other location as may be designated by the campus  chief  administrative
  officer.
4. The persons designated as police officers by the board of trustees,
  pursuant  to  paragraph  l  of  subdivision two of section three hundred
  fifty-five of this chapter, shall have the power among all other  police
  powers  to  issue a uniform traffic summons and complaint as provided in
  the vehicle and traffic  law  and  simplified  traffic  informations  as
  provided  for  in  the  criminal  procedure  law  for traffic violations
  committed within the geographical area  of  employment  of  such  police
  officers,   such   informations  to  be  administered  pursuant  to  the
  provisions of article two-A  of  the  vehicle  and  traffic  law,  where
