Taking steps to improve community relations

By Editorial
On November 2, 2011

Buffalo State's decision to form a committee to address the problems created by careless off-campus residents is a step in the right direction toward improving relations between our school and the community.

It reflects poorly on the school as a whole when noise complaints are commonly directed at off-campus students. While what students do in their non-academic free time may seem like something that shouldn't be the business of the school's, it's important that Buffalo State maintains a positive image within the community.

Informing students of the disciplinary consequences of disruptive behavior off-campus is an important first step to curbing noise and other complaints. The school has taken another positive step by providing a phone number to residents of student-populated areas that can be called in case of problems.

Holding commuters to the same standards of community respect is not an unreasonable idea, as their behavior is a reflection of the school.

We hope these efforts can lead to a more mutual respect of campus and community.
