While campus alcohol and drug arrests continue to rise nationwide, the UA has reported a slight decrease in both categories, as well as decreases in burglary, arson and weapons offenses. A yearly study conducted by The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that the nation's alcohol arrests increased 24.3 percent in 1998. Drug offenses rose 11.1 percent. The Chronicle surveyed 481 four-year institutions with an enrollment of 5,000 or more students. Each institution is required by federal law to report yearly arrests. The University of Arizona reported 241 liquor-law violations in 1998, down from 267 the year before. The UA also reported 123 drug violations, a decrease of 19 from 1997.    [More]
