Outraged at the death of George Floyd , who died after a Minneapolis police officer pinned him by the neck, University of Minnesota President Joan Gabel on Wednesday said the school would sever some security arrangements with the city police department.

The university will no longer contract with the Minneapolis Police Department for added enforcement at large events such as football games and concerts, Gabel said, per CBS Minnesota . And it will cease using city police for K-9 bomb detection and other specialized services.

Our hearts are broken after watching the appalling video capturing the actions of Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) officers against George Floyd leading to his tragic death, Gabel said in a letter to students, staff and faculty. As a community, we are outraged and grief-stricken. I do not have the words to fully express my pain and anger and I know that many in our community share those feelings, but also fear for their own safety. This will not stand.
