In this case they are pushing drugs on other students in the NU community. Second, the university is doing all that can be done to address this problem. Hall staff confront any suspicious incident involving drugs. I approached The News in the fall about publicizing disciplinary statistics and that offer still stands. All drug cases are forwarded to the Northeastern University Public Safety Division for further investigation.
Officers then follow up with suspected users and dealers.
But we do need students to help us in these efforts. Students living in the residence halls do not have to put up with drug pushers. Neighborhood communities have long been successful in joining together to take whole neighborhoods back from drug dealers. Likewise, students in the residence halls can come together to make this an uncomfortable environment for dealers. Students can take action by informing the hall staff, the Office of Judicial Affairs or campus police.
