Campus Discipline Problem - Assignment Example

violation of college rules and regulations al affiliation: Introduction Every year, there has been numerous of reported cases concerning students’ violation of universities’ rules and regulations. Through the use of Clery Act data (from the United States Department of Education), the ministry has been able to keep track of these incidences. These cases have been common to all the universities across the country. The major violations that are reported by this data include students’ possession of weapons, drugs and prohibited liquor.

(Talesh, 2012). Recently, I visited Miami University-Oxford, Florida, and the situation was no different.Miami university-Oxford has a total population of 17191 students whereby 7560 of them are men and the remaining 9631 are women. It is a four-year public university. From the clergy data, it is seen that the university had zero incidents of students in possession of the weapons between the year 2006 and 2007. However, in 2008 there were two students who were reported having weapons.In matters to do with drugs, one in every 905 students were reported in 2006.

In 2007, the number rose to one in every 452 students and the situation worsened in 2008 where one in every 1910 students were reported to be in possession of drugs. The school either didn’t do very well on the issue of illegal liquor. One in every 22 students were reported to be in possession of illegal liquor in 2006 and 2007. The number changed to one in every 23 students in 2007 and the situation was no good in 2008, one in every 31 students were reported.In comparison to other colleges in the United States, Miami University didn’t do well in matters to do with liquor and drugs.

There were many cases of violation reported as compared to other universities. It also didn’t perform well in the category of four-year public universities in United States. In the category of four-year public universities in Ohio, the University had a poor performance with only Ohio University (main campus) and Ohio state University (main campus) performing worse than it. However, from the data, there was a remarkable reduction of violations from 2006 to 2008.ReferencesTalesh, R. (2012). The Clery Act: Leadership perspectives from senior student affairs officers.
