Washington State got a lot of attention recently for a provision that would impose fines for students who violate the code of conduct. Most colleges that impose fines for conduct do so as a preventive and educational measure, and in many cases, it works. Temple raised the second-offense fine for drug and alcohol incidents to $500 about five years ago. Andrea Caporale, Temple assistant vice provost, explained that combined with aggressive advertising of the policy, the fine hike led to a “drastic decrease” in second-time offenses over the years.
