As an alumnus of Ohio State, I’m pretty shocked to hear that the visitation policy has been eliminated. There should definitely be a policy in place to limit visitation of non-residents. A curfew, if you will, when all visitors must leave.

When I was an RA in Smith, every visitor was required to sign in and sign out. To enforce this, Security and RAs went through the halls every night and made sure visitors were all cleared out of the building.

Resident Assistants and Resident Directors, as proxies of Ohio State, act in loco parentis, which means taking responsibility for our residents.

If rapes and attacks are occurring in our resident halls, we have failed in this charge.
