Moral Behavior of Resident Assistants

of knowledge about RAs and the experiences
they go through when they are determining
how to administer disciplinary policy in the
residence hall. The findings suggest that RAs
may compromise their moral duties and not
be adequately prepared or trained to meet the
expectations of their position. One key reason
for this lapse in moral behavior is the issue
of peer acceptance and the relationship with
the resident. Yet these students have accepted
the responsibilities of the job; therefore, they
have a responsibility to carry out the policies
(Blimling, 2010).
