Abstract
Student indiscipline remains a persistent challenge in higher education institutions, often undermining academic standards, campus safety, and institutional reputation. This paper examines the role of university leadership in managing and reducing student indiscipline. It explores how leadership styles, policy frameworks, and administrative strategies influence student behavior and discipline outcomes. Emphasis is placed on proactive approaches such as value-based leadership, effective communication, student engagement, and the enforcement of clear disciplinary measures. The study highlights the importance of collaboration between university authorities, faculty, and student bodies in fostering a culture of responsibility and accountability. It concludes that strong, transparent, and consistent leadership is essential for maintaining order and promoting positive student conduct within universities.
