Random room searches may continue into spring semester

Toward the end of the fall semester, AU instituted random room searches throughout the residence halls. The searches began following frequent suspicion of illegal substances being kept in dorm rooms. “There were only two rounds of random room searches conducted last semester,” said Maggie Platt, director of residence life and student conduct for AU. “But I think rumors have made students believe there were many more than that.” Much to the dismay of students, there was no warning that the … [Read more...]
