A report by the Office of Postsecondary Education of the U.S. Department of Education shows a substantial decrease in liquor law violations at the University of Tulsa campus since 2005.
One of the most common disciplinary actions issued by the Security Department at TU in recent years has been related to liquor law violations.
In 2005, 83 people were referred to disciplinary action on campus as a result of such violations. None of these people were arrested.
Under the alcohol policy at TU only students over 21 were allowed to consume liquor on campus. They could only have a six-pack of 3.2 percent beer.
TU's alcohol policy changed earlier this year. Students over 21 are now allowed to keep any amount of alcoholic beverages of their choice in their dorm rooms and apartments.
The number of liquor law violations diminished around 5 percent in 2006 with only 79 reports and it dropped to 51 reports in 2007.
Conversely, drug law violations have increased significantly over the past three years. In 2005 only two drug law violations were reported, going up to seven in 2006 and to 15 in 2007.
Three of the drug law violations in 2007 took place in residence halls, and three people were arrested.
