Quiet Hours Policy

Extended campus dining hours would attract late nighters and provide convenience for students living on campus. Many students are awake late at night or early in the morning. Whether it be for studying, partying, or simply taking it easy, college students do not have a set time for when they go to sleep. With this being the case, college campuses should require at least one dining hall

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech.” Indeed, free speech is a large block upon which this nation was first constructed, and remains a hard staple of America today; and in few places is that freedom more often utilized than on a college campus. However, there are limitations to our constitutional liberties on campus and they, most frequently, manifest themselves in the form of free speech zones, hate speech and poor university policy. Most school codes are designed to protect students, protect educators and to promote a stable, non-disruptive and non-threatening learning environment. However, students’ verbal freedom

and university campuses has become a national issue. Currently, almost all college and universities prohibit the possession of

Third, any campus that does not allow students and faculty to protect themselves, violates their constitutional right to do so and leaves their institution open to litigation in the event that a crime is committed against a student or faculty member while on campus.

When paying large amounts of money, most people like to get the most out of what they pay for. Students all across the country pay thousands of dollars to live on campus housing in educational institutions. At Valdosta State University, there are nine residential halls on campus with most of them being freshman dorms. The on-campus housing follows a strict policy that states only two people can be checked in per student. Many students agree that there should be more than two people who are allowed to check in at any of the given halls here on campus. The dorms should allow at least four people to be checked in at a time by each resident student. There could be a cap to the capacity at four, but that is a reasonable number as to how many people can come hangout in each dorm.

Not many students on U.S. campus can honestly speak what they truly think or what is on their mind, unless they want to face the effect their words might have. Sometimes what they say has consequences behind their words. If everyone had enough courage to say what they actually thought or how they felt, then the majority would have a tolerance built up for harsh words or actions. Since a majority of people take things to heart, many people can get their feelings hurt by small comments made. Then they take out their frustration on others, which causes the problem to get worse. If campuses put speech codes that regulated how people spoke to each other in different settings or occasions, then it would fewer instances of people to being attacked simply for who they are.

However, instead of worrying about the presence of guns in the classroom and dorms, college campuses could actually restrict the allowance of having a gun in the classroom and the dorms. If they do this, the campuses would still retain control of what's to happen in their classrooms and residence halls and the students would have a harder time accessing the weapon. Resulting in the prevention of a

It is College Policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices.

Senior High school students should be allowed to leave campus for lunch on the days they choose only if they have the majority of their high school credits and maintain a GPA higher than 3.5.

The rule states that we cannot leave campus during school hours, except for study hall.

In the article “Universities are Right to Crack Down on Speech and Behavior,” Eric Posner uses science, logic, reason, and morality to challenge the idea that college students are mature young adults who deserve the right to control their own behavior and to exercise unfettered free speech on campus. Furthermore, Posner contends that speech and sex codes have not always been lax but they changed drastically in the 1960s in response to the circumstances of the era. Consequently, the changes have brought about unwelcome freedoms that students themselves are currently rejecting. According to Posner, both parents and students agree that it’s time to for college administrators to resume a more conventional role in managing the speech and behavior

Safety is a tremendous issue on college campuses, and additional procedures need to be taken to prevent crimes from happening. When walking onto a college campus as a young adult, people get a rush of the unknown. The unknown could be going to college parties and late night study groups. College should be like any high school or elementary school and have better security measures to protect their students. The reasons we need these extra steps are to prevent violence, give students a sense of security, and monitor visitors on campus.

By informing students about alcohol and sex the institution is only protecting them from alcohol related sexual assault, but what if someone uses force to sexually assault the students. The student can only fight back against that only when the student was taught self-defense techniques like kicking the assaulter in the testicles as hard as one can and running, but what if a student was not taught the proper way to fight back, then in that case the institution should make a mandatory martial arts and gym class for all incoming freshmen for a whole year. By doing this the institution is not only making sure that the person can fight back when they are about to be assaulted on campus but also can fight back off campus. This solution is both beneficiary

Making it almost impossible to focus on getting work done. These issues were not always this bad it only started this year when they started keeping us from leaving the building or going to different parts of the school during lunch. I understand that these students in the hall’s behavior is unacceptable but I also understand that some people have a harder time controlling their pent up energy by denying us the ability to move freely between buildings removes some kids outlets causing them to act

While studying or even registering for a class presents a challenge to some college students, the greatest obstacle remains, going to class. Attending college is supposed to signify a new found freedom to make many important choices regarding education without high school mandatory attendance policies. However, students everywhere are coming to the staggering realization that college is not too different from high school. Teachers still take class roll and students are still expected to be at every class on time. What next, hall monitors in the hall? The time has come for action to be taken. Colleges must abolish mandatory student attendance policies for several reasons to be further discussed.
