I1ringother than a traffic violation. , This new addition has been the target of both praise and criticism by Student Gove~ment members, who met with Dean of Admission Martha Merrill during Thursday's General Assembly meeting. Dean Merrill indicated that their intent in including this statement in the application is to better ensure the safety of students on campus and attest to the character of applicants. The inclusion of a question of this kind is not unique to Connecticut College's application. Numerous colleges across the country request similar information. People are asked comparable questions on job and graduate school applications. The Connecticut College admissions process should be no exception: Many SGA Senators raised concerns that typical youthful mistakes, like underage drinking and using marijua- na, would be held against perspective students. Merrill assured the Assembly that those indiscretions would carry " little weight. The Office of Admission is looking for more serious offenses that would indicate that a candidate was a safety risk. Additionally, Dean Merrill assured students that admission of having committed an applicable offense rr would not necessarily warrant denial of admission to Connecticut College. it Which students will qualify as safety risks; what are applicable offenses? Not those involved in trivial substance n violations, but what about the student who was arrested for doing cocaine? What about the student who committed vandalism or date rape while on an illegal substance? ( These are all decisions that will have to be fnade on a case by case basis, just like all applicant decisions are. Many of the decisions may seem arbitrary, but isn't that the nature of the application process? An application. question of this nature signifies Ihat colleges are recognizing that it is not just students who invest ------irrcolleges, but also the other way around. Colleges want to do everything in their power to ensure that their invest- '----. ments are sound ones: This question is an acceptable way of doing that.
