Drug and alcohol violations increase at UH Manoa
Drug and liquor violations inside dorms and other campus residences at the University of Hawaii’s flagship Manoa campus soared last year, while campus-related burglaries and aggravated assaults also increased.
The number of liquor violations inside UH-Manoa dorms and other campus housing jumped from 524 in 2010 to 719 last year, according to an annual safety report released today.
Drug-related violations inside dorms and other campus housing also shot up — from 238 in 2010 to 390 last year.
During the same period, UH-Manoa saw 12 “forcible” sex offenses on campus, including six in dorms or other campus housing. The number of forcible sex offenses remained the same as 2010, when most — 10 — occurred in campus housing.
The report also showed that on-campus burglaries increased from 48 in 2010 to 64 last year.
But the number of on-campus vehicle thefts dropped at the same time — from 39 in 2010 to 16 last year.
