Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In spite of LMU’s squeaky-clean Catholic school image, the students tend to get wild at times. Drinking, cheating, and speeding are all offenses with a various range of penalties. Speeding or other traffic violations result in a heavy fine, but more serious offenses like alcohol abuse and dishonesty land the offender in Judicial Affairs. Cheating is especially serious at LMU; the school employs a plagiarism investigator, and most professors at least threaten to use it.

At times, the campus seems overly strict. Public Safety officers are not lenient, so getting caught violating any of the University’s numerous policies results in varying degrees of trouble. Students who end up in the Judicial Affairs system face fines, suspension, or expulsion. Some serious offenses include underage drinking, drug possession, drug use, cheating, reckless driving, and assault. Of these offenses, underage drinking and drug possession are the most common. Lesser offenses include phone or Internet harassment, minor theft, speeding, parking violations, and the general term “suspicious activity.” Incidents involving violent crime are almost nonexistent. Due to the crackdown on alcohol and drug abuse on campus, students should exercise caution and common sense. Public Safety and Judicial Affairs are not known for being lenient.

Public Safety

The campus police are really strict about the rules, especially when it come to alcohol and drugs. It's pretty easy to get away with things if you are just smart about it, so as long as you don't get caught you are good.

Bike Rule

There is a section of campus where you have to walk your bikes, which has caused some major student protests. It is the dumbest rule. If someone doesn't know how to ride a bike and steer away from the pedestrians then they shouldn't have a bike. Similarly, if someone doesn't know how to walk out of a bicyclists way then they shouldn't be walking.

PSAFE

Some of the policemen who work for PSAFE can be reaaaaaaaal jerks. And judicial affairs is no walk in the park. Honestly, if you can avoid them, it's the best. They don't really approach you or do anything unless you are drunk in public (basically making it super obvious you are intoxicated), smoke in public or are caught stealing or writing graffiti. Just like any other illegal circumstance, don't do it if you're gonna get caught.
