Student Behavior: Policies, Programs & the Law  

Every year research indicates that 1,825 college students die from alcohol-related injuries; 599,000 are injured under the influence of alcohol; and thousands attempt to commit suicide, making suicide the second leading cause of death for college students. It is estimated that 37% of college students use illicit drugs and 35% of students are overweight or obese.

Self-destructive student behaviors on college campuses have created new legal challenges for student administrators. Several courts have ruled that both administrators and institutions may have a shared responsibility to protect students from known dangers.

Student Behavior: Policies, Programs & the Law focuses on the management of potential liability and assesses programs and policies that make the campus environment a safer place to learn and live.

This book analyzes:

  • Binge Drinking 

  • Duty to Protect 

  • Drugs on Campus

  • Student Suicide and Institutional Liability

  • Sexual Violence 

  • Overweight and Obesity in Students

  • Parental Notification 

  • Healthy Lifestyles 

  • Liability for Alcohol Related Injuries 

  • Social Norming 

  • Environmental Model

Model programs and sample policies are provided along with relevant and useful Internet resources. Each chapter contains a selected bibliography.

Each chapter is presented with a common format: Overview, Application, and Preventive Measures.
