<p>What would I have administration do? Let’s see, how about
College Policy - The campus is their property, why don’t they act like it? Do they own it, or the students? I mean let’s get real.
A) Are there “under 21” dorms? No alcohol - period - in under 21 dorms. If the students want to underage drink off campus, well they are responsible for the consequences. Why should the school put up with it? Oh yea - they don’t want to students mad at them. </p>
<pre><code> B) Felony crimes should be automatically refered to regular police. If students think
</code></pre>
<p>and want to be treated like adults, let’s treat them like adults. </p>
<p>I don’t get why control of your own institution is being abdicated. If you owned or ran a business, and an employee came in drunk, puking, or assaluted/raped someone - I ASSUME the police would be called? Students don’t even clean-up their own barf most of the time, and leave it for the cleaning staff. </p>
<p>How about the issue of public urination? A co-worker of my wife got caught doing this in a parking lot outside a bar, and in Ohio that will get you automatically labeled as a sex offender and on the registry. That’s what happened to her co-worker. </p>
<p>This country acts like it’s some draconian tyranny to try and get some order, discipline and control at our Universities. I work with a young Indian grad student - he had a GREAT observation. He told me “I notice in the US the college students are always partying. What the hell have they accomplished in life to celebrate.” </p>
<p>We give young people adult privileges, no consequences, and then wring are hands wondering about the results and flounder about what to do. We don’t have the stomach to be the “bad guys” to our kids … that’s the bottom line.</p>
