Cops have stopped by my apartment on a few occasions. Goes like this. They knock on the door...

Me: "Do you have a warrant?"
Them: "No"
Me: "Good night sir"

lol. i highly doubt that you ever had this conversation verbatim with a police officer.

he's in a dorm room, not a private residence. there is no way for him to stay holed up in his room if someone from the school wants to enter, especially if there is the odor of marijuana in the hallway near his door.

i think he handled the problem just fine. a better solution would be to open the door, step outside and shut the door behind him. speak to the officers outside with the door shut and politely refuse to allow them to search. "documenting" what happened is just a scare tactic. refusing a search is perfectly within your rights, and can never be used against you in any legal proceeding.
