Hugh T. Clements, a former Providence police chief, will assume daily oversight of campus policing and serve as the interim vice president for public safety.
The school will approve an After-Action Review and a separate Comprehensive Campus Safety and Security Assessment.
Paxson praised the response to the shooting by campus police and said the external reviews are standard in response to incidents involving campus violence.
The U.S. Department of Education also announced that it will conduct its own review of Brown’s security practices.
