Letter: A matter of civility and respect

One issue that we always find ourselves dealing with at the beginning of each school year is the behavior of students in our St. Paul campus neighborhood.

Students have a lot of energy, and especially at the end of the week they are ready to relax, to get together with friends and to party – and that’s fine. Neighbors know that is going to happen. They once were college students, too, and they know there always will be a certain level of activity.
