Pike Party just (barely) off campusUMass certainly cannot complain about the high number of noise, nuisance, open container and underage drinking citations handed out by the Amherst Police Department in their ongoing war against rowdy behavior.
Although I think our flagship institute of higher education was a tad lenient on some of the 652 students who garnered the attention of our police department last year for their obnoxious off campus behavior (only 5 were expelled).
But it seems to be a different matter altogether when infractions takes place on campus. According to head disciplinarian Enku Gelaye (more formerly known as Dean of Students), a total of 2,818 students recieved sanction last year with 2,342 of them on campus (83%) vs 476 off campus (17%).
Now yes, UMass houses 12,400 students on campus (45% of total) but that leaves 14,869 (55%) -- the majority of the 27,269 total students -- to find housing elsewhere.
Simply put, less than half of UMass students (those who live on campus) garnered 83% of official sanctions handed out by our flagship of higher education last year.
Considering Amherst police cited or arrested 652 students during that same time frame for bad behavior off campus, it certainly seems the town pays more attention to these students than does UMass.
Not exactly what Fox News would describe as "Fair and balanced."
