not believe the privacy of South Hall contributes to drug and alcohol
use
By LAURA HUNTER

A dealer’s point of view
By TYLER MORRISON and STEPHANIE CHRISTOPHER

up! Now what?

Welcome to the student conduct system. When a student takes an action
that challenges university policy, this action is referred to as an incident.
Whether it is burning candles or possessing alcohol on campus, it is documented
in an incident report (IR) by a resident assistant or any other member
of the PLU community.
