When?
October 10, 2012.
Where?
Telephone interview from my phone directly to her in her office.
How?
Telephone interview
Why?
To learn about how drunk driving is dealt with at the university level.
Dr. Olszewska is the Director of the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. It is her office that handles students’ actions based on the ECU code of conduct. I found it necessary to see if she knew anything about how drunk driving was looked at by the university. She explained to me that her office handled students cited as drunk driving by the police, and judged them based on the university guidelines. She also explained to me the steps in which her office would take to combat an issue. First they would require the student to receive an alcohol assessment. Based upon the assessment’s results, the students may receive up to a one-year suspension from East Carolina. At the end of this period if the student chooses to come back to East Carolina they will be warned that if they are ever found to be driving drunk again, they will be suspended indefinitely from attending East Carolina. Dr. Olszewska was very helpful and informative in giving me all of the information I required. It was apparent that she was well skilled in her area and had been working with the issue for quite awhile.
