Open up, you suds-swilling Jayhawk, or else.

Or else what?

Or else — according to policy proposed at the University of Kansas — housing supervisors who suspect alcohol or drug use in a student’s dormitory room can get a key and enter a student’s room. Without permission. Without a warrant from a judge.

  1. I'm a student at the University of Tennessee and this rule is present there as well. My freshman year (two years ago), I smoked in my dorm room one night and a R.A. got permission to open up my room and search the room while I was not there (I left right after I smoked). They took my bud, my pipes, my incense and incense burner. Oh, and my beer bong. I was put on school probation and had to meet with Student Judicial Affairs once a month for a year. I didn't have any legal trouble. I'm now off probation and still enrolled at UT. But it's a terrible rule and I felt like my freedoms had been violated.

  4. tydy91, time to start a NORML or Students for Sensible Drug Policy chapter there to fight this!

    There's one NORML chapter at one of the colleges in the state. Might want to contact them and get help organizing!
