Local police are preparing ​​a university-funded​operation to target noise and anti-social behaviour in the final weeks of the academic year. Although details have not yet been announced, the initiative will be similar to "Operation Oak", under which Newcastle's universities paid for extra police patrols in areas where noisy parties were a problem for residents. Confirmation that the University of Bristol has agreed to fund a pilot project was provided by Deputy Registrar Lyn

University of Arizona students​​ who hold noisy parties risk fines and a 180-day 'red tag' notice on the outside of their house that warns of bigger penalties to come for repeat disturbances.
