The university’s official residence policy allows police to enter dorm rooms but does not allow searches without warrants and permission. “Authorization to enter a student’s room under this policy does not constitute authorization to conduct a search of the room," the policy says.
at university of Louisville the police need a warrant to even enter,so it seems the laws varry from state to state and possibly by university to university
As for UofL, police need a search warrant to enter dorm rooms. Unless it's an emergency or maintenance issue.

You should really title this, "Douchebag student taunts cops into trespassing his dorm."
This kid is human garbage, I hope he does get kicked out of school. University cops aren't inner-city cops, they tend to be more tolerant of student behavior. Why? Because they are on the university's payroll. To treat them this way does NOTHING to help the student ease the situation; it only makes him look like a jackass. Person to person, anyone who talks like that should get their ass kicked.

Someone already answered this comment but again the officer in question
was let go because he violated the boys rights and school policy, he was
ruled in the wrong by the police and the school both, i do not see how anyone
can say it was ok.

According to official school policy, campus police are not permitted to enter a student’s room without first obtaining consent or a warrant. The same officer also verbally dismissed the student’s Fourth Amendment rights and threatened him with expulsions if he did give his consent for the search. “Listen man, do you want to be kicked out of this university?” asked the still unidentified officer. “I can pave that road. We’re going to get you kicked out.” “We don’t have to explain anything to you son,” he added. “[T]here is no Fourth Amendment.” The officer was almost certainly referring to the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights section of the Constitution which guarantees against “against unreasonable searches.”
also to add if the officer was no violating school policy then why did they fire
him? he very well did violate this persons rights.

He was fired from the school- not the police department. And according to the statement he was fired for inappropriate physical contact.
In 1972, the Kentucky legislature enacted KRS 164.950 which gave all state public universities the power to create campus police agencies and also set out standards for being a campus police officer. Some of the standards at that time were more stringent than what was required by law for a city police department.
Room Entry Policy
Authorized university personnel may enter a student's residence hall room without permission for the following reasons:
To provide routine maintenance
To provide routine inspections to ensure that residents are following health, fire, and safety regulations
To respond to emergency situations; e.g., situations which threaten the health and/or safety of room occupants, and situations which require immediate maintenance to prevent property damage or immediate action to correct the health, fire and/or safety risk
When there is reason to believe that a violation of university policy is taking place in the room and occupants in the room do not open the door when requested to do so.
Protocol for using the master key to enter a residence hall room:
No student room should be entered without knocking, regardless of whether the door is locked, unlocked, or open. The only situations in which staff are not required to knock are emergencies.
Before using the master key, university personnel attempting to enter a room should identify themselves and state the reason for entry. In addition, they should request that the door be opened.
If the door is not opened and authorized university personnel deem it necessary, the master key will be used to enter the student's room for one or more of the reasons listed above.
