Abstract:
This topic was chosen for 2004 because of the special opportunity we in higher education have been given by the generation of “Millennial” students who now reside on our campuses. According to the literature, this generation of students share noteworthy characteristics that differentiate them from previous generations of students. Perhaps most notably for readers of this whitepaper, Millennials are “rule followers” to a much greater extent than students of any generation since the 1950s. This article discusses the criteria needed for students to follow rules and how college codes of conduct can be crafted to take advantage of this opportunity.Keywords: The Millennials; Mallory v.
