A Theoretical Model to Explain the Overrepresentation of College Men among Campus Judicial Offenders: Implications for Campus Administrators

College Students’ Descriptions of Everyday Gender Prejudice

“…It is important to recognize this gender difference and try to understand why men are more likely than women to commit gender prejudice. Harper et al (2005) proposed one model that presents a number of factors involved in the higher proportion of male offenders of student misconduct (including sexual harassment) on college campuses, but more research is needed.…”

Self‐Work on Gender for Leadership Educators: Reflections from Our Experiences

“…The Men@USD Leadership Retreat was designed to address the fact that USD men are substantially underrepresented in cocurricular activities and overrepresented in the student conduct process. A group of faculty and administrators convened to reflect on this reality and quickly realized that USD students were experiencing what has been documented in the student development literature (Davis, ; Harper, Harris, & Mmeje, ). As we reflected on our experiences, we identified the need to create a heretofore nonexistent space for conversations about masculinity, a structure for participants to unpack the influences in their lives that work to narrow the range of acceptable ways of being in the world.…”

“…Despite a history of privilege and success in higher education, troubling trends for student affairs and academic leaders have emerged with regard to college men (Kellom, 2004). College men are cited more often for nonacademic violations of campus judicial policies (Harper, Harris, & Mmeje, 2005), academic underachievement (Kellom, 2004;Sax, 2008), alcohol and substance abuse (Capraro, 2000;Courtenay, 1998), depression (Good & Mintz, 1990), and disengagement in campus programs and activities (Davis & Laker, 2004).…”

In terms of male gender socialization, traditional college males have higher alcohol use (Capraro, 2004) and are overrepresented as college judicial offenders (Harper, Harris, & Mmeje, 2005). As mentioned previously, men who study abroad desire more than parties and dangerous activities, which may provide evidence that men who study abroad do not subscribe to traditional notions of masculinity as much as male students who do not study abroad.…”
