Comments on: President Spencer calls on students to help foster more responsible and respectful behavior /news/2014/05/14/president-spencer-calls-on-students-to-help-foster-more-responsible-and-respectful-behavior/ Mon, 05 Dec 2022 21:04:42 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Hopeful /news/2014/05/14/president-spencer-calls-on-students-to-help-foster-more-responsible-and-respectful-behavior/#comment-46234 Sat, 17 May 2014 02:34:38 +0000 /news/?p=78069#comment-46234 This is the most hopeful news out of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ in a LONG TIME — especially after the recent case in which a student broke into a home near campus and assaulted the elderly resident, causing serious injury. (The incident was reported in the Sun Journal, although ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ has been suspiciously quiet about it.)

President Spencer, I believe the vast majority of students and alumni would support strong actions to raise standards of behavior. I believe that a small minority of students causes most of the problems. Please, please remove that small minority. Let’s end the six-strikes-and-you’re-out policy. Let’s end the use of probation (which is to say, nothing) as the response to anti-social, destructive, and even criminal behavior. Let’s end the special kid-glove treatment of athletes who offend.

Much like Pope Francis, who has talked the talk, and now has to walk the walk, you now must act on the things you have promised. If you follow through, you’ll be the best President ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ has ever had.
