Hmm... I don't know.
Maybe my take on this is a little different because my school actually has a decent campus police force (or at least, it was decent when I was there). To join the force, you had to have been a "regular" cop for several years. They carry guns, arrest people, and all that good stuff.
The article mentioned that some schools have an "emergency aid agreement" that allows campus police to respond to emergency calls from off campus. Now that would be a good idea. If I'm in my apartment right down the street from CP HQ and somebody breaks in and I call 911, I want a cop there NOW - I don't want to wait 10 minutes for a city cop to turn up while the CPs sit around playing cards because they aren't allowed to respond.
But letting CPs routinely patrol and do crowd control and such off campus, I think, is overstepping the bounds. That's city jurisdiction.
