PC’s Status: A Lesser Degree

Providence College was founded according to Dominican tradition. It is the essential qualities of the Catholic faith that make up and preserve the PC community. There is a distinct spirit on campus that has been present since the college was founded in 1917. Attempts to destroy these qualities that enhance the PC community are not only detrimental to the entire heritage of the college community, but also to those who engage in disreputable acts. College, of course, should not be just an academic workplace but a healthy balance of both social and academic interaction. The Pro­ vidence College community is concerned that the students place too much emphasis on the social aspects, especially when they are taken one step further; thereby resulting in incorruptible acts that deface not only the name of the school but also the name of the students involved in such incidences. The majority of PC students are from middle-class families, they have been well-brought up and are, for the most part, well-educated. Yet, the demographics versus the factual incidences do not balance. For example, PC students have been arrested by and/or involved with the police on a number of occasions. For example, in one case, two students were arrested for verbally abusing a police officer and the operator of a tow truck who was called to remove an illegally parked car. The student also attempted to prohibit the police officer and tow truck operator from performing their duties, therefore resulting in a ‘interference with a police officer’ charge. Violence is also a major problem in the PC community. There have been a few incidents in which students have been arrested for disorderly conduct and even assault and battery. Students have engaged in brawls that go beyond a minor ‘fist fight’. For example, one student was beaten by another student while other students helped hold down the victim. The beaten student was taken to the emergency room for treat­ ment. Needless to say, that student took a temporary leave of absence from college because of the physical and emotional harm he suffered. Why should a student sacrifice his right to an education because other students cannot act in a responsible adult manner? Father Cunningham, O .P., President of PC, states that there are certain “ responsibilities of living in an adult milieu” . This behavior should be evident to students, but unfortunately, this is not the case. Many students argue that they are seniors and that whatever they do won't affect them in years to come. It may not affect them but their actions will discredit the value of their degree if such disreputable acts are continued. Another ‘excuse’ for these intolerable and irresponsi­ ble acts are that they occur off-campus and not on school property, therefore it is none of the administration’s business what occurs out­ side. How untrue. The student handbook states that conduct off cam­ pus is likely to have an adverse effect on the college, its stated goals and/or on the educational process and should be dealt with accord- ding to school and local legal procedure. Just because a student lives off-campus does not give them the right to urinate off a porch, or shout obscenities at the Providence Police Department. Ironically, A New ‘Class’ when students are caught doing something wrong they look to the Continued from page 2 administration for a ‘lighter’ punishment. According to the Student Handbook, “ Students are subject to all federal, state and local laws Requirement disorderly conduct, maintaining a and ordinances as well as college rules and regulations” (p. 19).
