"Red Armbands" Patrol Nanjing University for Inappropriate Intimacy

"Red Armbands" Patrol Nanjing University for Inappropriate Intimacy
Nov 13, 2009 By eChinacities.com
Inappropriate displays of intimacy on campus will be dutifully reprimanded by patrolling “Red Armbands”.

 

At Nanjing Forestry University, young couples in a passionate relationships beware! Party-affiliated university committees have set up “patrol posts” all around campus to try and stop inappropriate displays of intimacy between couples. The campus committee has employed students in their work-study programs to patrol allotted parts of campus wearing red armbands, and they are to go up to couples engaging in unfit acts of intimacy, interrupt and ask that they refrain from doing so.

Job guidelines dictate that the Red Armbands are to stay alert and watchful while on duty, and that they are to constantly make rounds around their allotted parts of the campus. Once they spot questionable action, they're to go up and say: “Pardon my interruption, could you...please?” If these student patrols are caught by supervisors purposefully neglecting their duties to reprimand and stop inappropriate behavior around campus, then they themselves could be reprimanded and disciplined accordingly.

Most Red Armband patrols said that a big part of their job, and the most challenging aspect as well, has to do with reprimanding couples engaging in intimate acts, especially since what's considered unseemly and inappropriate is very subjective. But they have formed somewhat rough guidelines nonetheless: if a person is sitting or lying on another's lap, or if the couple has engaged in longer-than-appropriate embraces and kisses, then these are sure signs that they should go over and break them up.

“The campus patrol program has employed and helped nearly a hundred students in need of financial aid, and it is one of the more innovative campaigns taken up by our committee. In addition, it has served the role of keeping a healthy image for our campus, as fit for a place breeding young minds for their future roles,” explains an administrator at the Nanjing Forestry University.

Also according to him, the campaign was established four years ago and those student patrols are all employed as part of the university's work-study program where they are provided with much needed financial aid from the school. The job of these student patrols is to reprimand and stop inappropriate behavior around campus, including warning student couples away from unseemly displays of intimacy in public.

Administration at the Nanjing Forestry University professed that they are very satisfied with the results of campus patrol, seeing that since putting the campaign to work, public displays of inappropriate intimacy among couples on campus have declined dramatically. “If we neglect to manage these kinds of behavior around campus, then it will start to impact negatively on school image on the whole.” A school administrator is quoted as saying.
