Alternative housing for students and housing for new faculty are other issues which need to be addressed. Dr. Bardo reported on fraternity house problems. A draft plan for a code of conduct has now been completed and shared with student leaders. If there is a party, fraternity members can bring one guest. On week-ends, open parties are allowed.
Members can bring up to four guests.
They will be required to have paid, uniformed, bonded, security guards. A minimum of one guard per 100 guests will be required. Dr. Bardo reported that there is a lot of good news on the academic side. He stated that Western's faculty is the hardest working group of people he has ever worked with. There is work being done on raising standards including a return to required attendance and emphasis on writing and outside reading.
