Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When things get a little rowdy on campus, security writes students up, and then they await a hearing from the infamous J-Board. The J-Board is a student-run judicial board that works to spread knowledge and enforcement of the school social code. Giving students the duty of punishing their own peers places a heavier weight on student responsibility on all sides. Made up of half faculty and half students, the Honor Council is another prominent organization on campus that enforces the honor code. To break the honor code is one of the deadliest sins a student can commit, and it can lead to expulsion. Both codes are taken seriously on campus since they are contingent on student integrity. This is a very unique quality that many colleges lack. Because the two major forces of strictness rely on students, the environment remains understanding and compassionate. When students get in trouble, it is no surprise because they most likely deserved it. The campus is strict in that the social and honor codes are exercised without excuse, but the student body respects them because they are fair and reasonable.

Alcohol and Drug Use

Lawrence is laid-back for the most part. Campus security doesn't focus much on alcohol consumption unless it becomes a problem or disrupts the residents of Appleton. Lately, they have gotten very serious about drug use (specifically marijuana) despite the fact that the school in general is very laid-back about it - meaning, most of the students have either tried it, or don't have a problem with the people who have.

Catch Me If You Can

They are usually ok with alcohol, but when it comes to drugs they have started really cracking down and bringing the police in.

Very Lax

Campus security busts parties every once in awhile but it's really very easy to do pretty much whatever you want on campus.
