More colleges are disciplining students for off campus behavior problems

<p>Hmmm…</p>

<p>I think you can be expelled from your college if you are convicted of a felony for a crime you committed off campus. </p>

<p>This seems to be pushing things further down as far as the level of severity of the offense is concerned.</p>

<p>So, how far down the list will colleges go?
Convicted of a misdemeanor for off campus actions? What degree?
Given a ticket (for off campus actions) that requires a court appearance?
Given a ticket (for off campus actions) that requires a fine be paid?
Given a warning by the police for something you did off campus?</p>

<p>How about if you are on spring break in another city?</p>

<p>How about if you are at home for the summer?</p>

In Colorado, the code regulates any conduct that “affects the health, safety or member of the university community or the mission of the university.”

The “anything that affects … the mission of the university” sounds way too broad. As Eldercookies said, watch these colleges’ building plans for those new offices for the thought police.</p>

@NewsTimes article

University of Washington police work with Seattle officers to patrol the area north of campus thick with off-campus housing including fraternities and sororities. Boston College goes further by sending a college official off campus to look for parties and students breaking the law.

<p>Wow.</p>
