College Prowler Take
For the most part, Rice students are very pleased with the relationship between the campus police and the student body. The prevailing attitude is that Campos are there for student protection and well-being. Students admit that the RUPD has no tolerance for drug-abuse. However, drug usage is not a large problem at Rice, and most students believe that drug offenders deserve whatever they get. The same attitude is taken for cheating on graded work or exams. Students tend to agree with the enforcement of the Honor Code and any disciplinary actions taken against cheaters. The Rice alcohol policy allows students to drink on campus, including underage students, as long as they keep it behind closed doors in the atmosphere of a “private party.” Because students recognize the alcohol policy as a privilege that can be lost if not handled responsibly, they usually take care of each other and monitor their friends’ intake. The police care first about the safety of the students, and they are not out looking to bust underage drinkers. In fact, the only chance an underage drinker has of getting in trouble at Rice is if they blatantly violate the alcohol policy (i.e. drinking at a public party or at Pub), and they proceed to call attention to themselves or behave belligerently.

One of the other wonderful things about the campus police is that they are very non-invasive. They are not out to get students—their job is to make sure that we stay healthy and safe. They want to promote responsibility, rather than bust students when they make the first stupid mistake of their lives. The Campos are great to work with, and great to be around, and we’re lucky to have people who care as much as they do work with us every day to keep us safe, and at the same time, not interfere with the relaxed nature of the culture at Rice. |

The campus police take a relaxed attitude towards drinking. If they don’t see it, and it’s not disturbing or harming anyone, then there’s no problem. If someone is causing problems, they usually try to take care of it via on-campus means like U-court or some other disciplinary action instead of arresting people, unless the problem is extreme. |

I don’t think drug use (that people know about anyway) is tolerated, but drinking is another story. The alcohol policy is brilliant because they realize that college students drink, but by allowing the closed-door privacy policy, things are kept on campus so that safety is at a premium. The Rice police officers are amazing, and they really are here to help students. |

The alcohol policy at Rice is really laid-back. You can have parties in your room as long as you register your keg in advance, keep the door closed, and do not allow alcohol to leave the room. The campus police generally leave you alone, unless you are vomiting or urinating on something. It’s hard to get in trouble for alcohol unless you try. |

Campos are really lenient with drinking. They know underage drinking happens, but they figure if it stays on campus and if you’re not driving, you’re safe. People look out for each other, so drinking is not a big problem. I’m sure stuff happens that I don’t hear about, but it’s nothing really bad. Drugs probably aren’t a good idea to get caught with. It probably happens in small amounts, but if it can be smelled by people walking around, you’ll get busted. |
