    If you join a golf club, there will be club rules, for example:
    - no swearing in the clubhouse
    - no breaking up the fairway with your clubs
    - don't bring the club into disrepute.

    There will also be a disciplinary process, and penalties if you break the rules. Maybe a é5 donation per swear-word, you pay for the greenkeeper hours in fixing the damage you did, expulsion if you make the club look bad. Or whatever.

    A university is just the same: you ask about enrolling, they sell you the benefits and tell you the rules. If you choose to enrol, and break the rules, there will be consequences.
    Never noticed, better check the rules im governed by so.;)

    Who would have thought it...an NUIG code of conduct exists! If you enrol in the University you tacitly agree to abide by the code and consequently its sanctions.

    "The maintenance of the good name of the University is in the interests of all of the University community and, as the standing of the University depends largely on those who represent it, it is the duty of its students at all times to behave, both inside and outside of the University, in a way which does not bring discredit to the University".

    The Code of Conduct should be posted in hard copy format to each student at their home address.
    Ticking a box on some random web page means nothing, everyone just ticks the box saying they've read it, but it's just like the RyanAir terms and conditions, no-one ever has actually read them.
    Good to hear new VP is coming down hard on Rag Week offenders. It's long past time, NUI Galway was a national laughing stock over some student antics.

    Huge cost to do the hard copy, a copy online is enough.
    Give them the option to request a hard copy if they want, at a price of course.

    I really hope the €4,000 fines are true - it's the best deterrent. It doesn't seem like possible expulsion from college would do much, but slapping massive fines on people would definitely put a stop to anti-social behaviour.

    I live on an estate with a lot of students. The people who have been causing problems... i.e. excessive noise, letting household rubbish pile up outside their houses, even violence, have not been students. Busybody residents' associations have tried to pin it on them though. Easier to whip up a frenzy about it if you can pin it to a certain group who are easy targets. I am nto a student either before anyone asks.
