Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to examine the grades and demographic characteristics of students involved with the residence hall disciplinary process during the 2005 fall semester at Ball State University. These characteristics were studied to determine if differences existed in the academic performance and demographic characteristics of disciplinary students and the general residence hall population. Differences between the disciplinary sample and residence hall population were found to exist. Freshmen and sophomores in the disciplinary sample achieved lower mean grade point averages. Freshmen and males were over-represented in the disciplinary sample. === Department of Educational Studies
