[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Be glad he and his underage friends aren't being arrested for drinking - even responsibly. [/b]I've heard of colleges where arrests are made - kids in a group walking home from a party -not driving. Underage and arrested.

And I would much rather have a university encourage students to be good samaritans -helping out fellow students if they are in trouble w/alcohol - rather than "guilt by association" policies. These make the student sneak around, and run and hide.[/quote]

I went to a state school that was 'by the book/throw the book' at kids but my sisters went to SLAC's and the attitude their schools was to try to keep issues as internally as possible so it doesn't ruin a kid with a record.

the latter is much more effective.

Now in terms of sexual assaults, I can see where this is a huge issue (i.e. handling things internally), but drinking and casual rec. drug use I feel is different. [/quote]

Except these 2 things go hand in hand. [/quote]

walking around campus smoking a joint isn't leading to getting rapey.

alcohol is different, but having outside authorities hammer down on underage drinking doesn't solve anything. [/quote]
