The code of conduct for Salisbury University was revised this year, adding new policies, adjusting others and making the entire code reportedly more straight forward and easier to follow.
“They’re definitely trying to make it more student friendly,” said junior Stephanie Keller.
One of the main changes to the code is the addition of medical amnesty, something that Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students Valerie Randall-Lee is very happy with.
Medical amnesty means that if a student or someone a student is with that is under the influence of alcohol or drugs and needs help, the student or friend can call for assistance and neither will receive punishment from the school.
“The biggest goal is that we don’t want to see someone die because they were scared to get in trouble,” Randall-Lee said.
If something like this happens, the school can still request that the student who was under the influence talk to a counselor or someone similar about how they got into that situation and how to avoid it in the future. If the student ignores the request they could face repercussions.
