Editor's Notes
- What are your goals? They will respond with things like study abroad, participate in student organizations, join fraternity/sorority, graduate, do research with a faculty member, etc. All of these things could be compromised by bad choices related to AOD. (Safety for all) Why did you choose Miami University? We have high academic standards, and they rise to meet our standards. We also have high behavioral expectations What are our shared values? The 2002 MU values statement expresses these, and the Code – to follow – is each individual’s acknowledgement of and pledge to honor those values. Who are we (Dean of Students office) We are jockey’s, trying to make them welcome safe and comfortable so they can stay on target and realize their goals here.
- Respect for the law We are after all, an institution of higher education; we must teach respect for the rule of law. Alcohol use can derail your plans/goals All of the goals they articulated a moment ago can be jeopardized by alcohol infraction(s). Alcohol use can negatively impact the plans/goals of others in community This is perhaps the most significant – we need to make sure that others are welcome, safe and comfortable. We want them to be successful, and alcohol can interfere with that.
- Most who enter Miami are non-drinkers. Reinforce that non-drinkers are the norm – and they can find each other (see below) First six weeks: Searching for community. Non-alcohol events: Rec Center, Armstrong, first-year halls, 500 orgs, … Oxford house parties/uptown district: fake IDs; “jungle juice;” holding cup Here, we note the tendency to seek community, and we can emphasize that it does not have to be based on alcohol –there are alternatives. Also, we point out the most common first year infractions – dishonesty, intoxication, “I was just holding this for someone…” Our values: Respect each others’ choices Look out for each other Talk with your parents Even if they are in a place with alcohol, it is OK not to drink. We can also choose to share safety tips related to the choice of drinking – rotate waters, make your own, never leave your drink unattended, etc. They should also know their parents’ expectations and history. And, we can warn them about “the sheet” here, so they know what to expect on the ride home.
- Miami is generally a “safe place” – review our crime statistics This might be a good place to refer people to our crime statistics. Often crime/code violations involve alcohol We all know and can speak to this very well – almost all (sober) Miami kids are great kids. Alcohol significantly impairs rational decision making. Sexual assault/misconduct typically: Involves students who know each other Involves alcohol EX: (Digital) stalking; ambiguous consent I’m looking for Becca’s help on this – do we want to venture into the 1/5 statistics here? I think making the link is important, but we must resist any hint of victim blaming – I like the “alcohol as a weapon” entry way. I would also encourage us to talk about two of the more common types of incidents we observe – (i) bad breakups (or failed attempts at a relationship) resulting in some form of stalking, and (ii) the case of both parties drinking and consent being ambiguous. Here we can emphasize that intoxication is different from incapacitation; an aggressor is effectively demonstrating consent; and when in doubt, it’s a good idea to just wait until everyone is sober. We need Becca’s fine tuning here. This also will foreshadow the affirmative definition of consent that comes later.

- Prevention Miami University is dedicated to preventing these offenses and acts of violence. To do so, Miami has implemented several initiatives to work to prevent violence. These are a list of some of the awareness, risk reduction, and prevention efforts across the University, whether by students, faculty, and/or staff. The I Am Miami initiative is dedicated to creating a community of inclusion and respect. Step Up! Bystander Intervention was created and launched to educate students in safe, early, and effective intervention to Step Up if they see something. There are many ways for students to get involved to help prevent these offenses on and off campus. We encourage everyone to remember that they can Step Up against violence and there are many ways to help prevent violence from occurring.
- Be aware that this is about your own personal responsibility but it is NEVER the fault of the victim/survivor and it is never their responsibility to stop a perpetrator.
