Two University Campuses -Two SkateBoard Commuter Policy's
 
University of Central Missouri Campus SkateBoard Policy is an all out ban.
 Roller skates, and rollerblades are not to be ridden or used on the property
 Vs.
 Stanford University  :  allows and promotes SkateBoard Commuting.
The images speak for themselves.

We can't imagine the students being all that different from one university campus to the next. Both have a campus they need to cross and residences close by to commute to. University of Central Missouri Campus obviously needs to band certain operations done with a skateboard. As opposed to banning the entire vehicle. It is as if cars were banned in general because one group of users was constantly drag racing illegally.  The drag racing needs to stop, not safe car use. Here we see the same issue. Students on the Stanford campus use the skateboard with great regularity to good and safe effect. Last time we were there we noted  a 10-15% vehicular campus traffic was on board skateboards. Both men and women used the skateboard as commuter vehicle equally. We did not see any incident during an entire day on the campus while observing the traffic flow.
