That's what I would expect to happen. It's a clear violation of university rules and university policies explicitly stated that anyone caught with drugs would be punished for it.

The problem I had was that this black guy and like 8 of his black mates would all smoke weed in the kitchen until 5am and make loads of noise. Every time security came they'd all accuse the security of racism and say that they "din do nuffin" (actual quote).

Security would kick them all out of the flat and then report it to the uni, but the uni would just send student representatives round to "mediate". The mediation always involved me saying living there was hell and that these people are breaking a whole list of uni rules, but the rep would ask me what compromises we could come to in order to improve the situation. They also stole loads of food from the fridge and tampered with the fire safety equipment.

In the end he got a modest fine for making too much noise at night, only after having been warned about 20 times.

Honestly, people like that deserve to be kicked out. They think they can get away with anything because people are too scared to actually enforce the rules.

This was a fairly top ranking uni as well, not some bottom of the league tables place where you'd expect such behaviour to be commonplace.

I honestly feel like there was some politics behind the scenes that prevented anything from being done about it. Either they were willing to tolerate drugs or they were afraid of being accused of racism, but it seems more than simple incompetence to me.
