Just like Nazi Germany, residential life students are expected to carry documentation at all times.
“Per university policy, students are expected to carry their FHSU student ID at all times. Tiger ID and/or identifying information must be presented to previously mentioned individuals upon request,” the handbook/agenda reads.
I recommend thumbing to the 4th amendment in the Constitution of the United States. Again, too bad you signed that housing contract.

Perhaps the most egregious of policies is the absolute crack down against political speech. Free speech was a pretty big fucking deal back in the day when the founders of America drafted the Constitution. So much, in fact, that they decided to put it first on the list! But now political speech on campus will be limited within the parameters deemed “acceptable” by the administration:
“Anyone observed to be engaging in solicitation activities, including telegram number list campaigners and salespeople, should be informed that such activity is prohibited and that they must cease immediately,” the agenda reads, “It is against university policy for anyone to… canvas, or otherwise engage in contacting faculty, staff, or students for any purpose not specifically approved in advance by university authorities.”
So in other words, if the school doesn’t approve your free speech – for whatever possible reason – don’t even think about uttering a word. This policy can become dangerous, especially if administration begin placing the University’s brand image above the FHSU student body and the Hays community at large. I can already imagine the implications this will have on student organizations and student press, and it’s not a pretty picture.
fhsu-conduct-policy-res-lifeThe administration has already begun to cut ties with the university’s longstanding traditions and cultural history in favor of a clean-cut, honors college image. They most recently dumped Oktoberfest by banning students from selling student organizational shirts that have the words “Oktoberfest” and “Fort Hays State University” together, because Oktoberfest is a disgusting cultural plight that we can no longer encourage. It’s not like Oktoberfest is a 200+ year old holiday that has been traditionally celebrated by the Volga Germans who built this town.
