[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was a rare pot smoker in his senior year of high school.  I didn't say too much about it as he wasn't a drinker and had decent grades.  He received an academic as well as a good character scholarship(35K total/year) to his #1 choice college.  He has been so happy there, loves his roommates and courses etc.  Well, a few weeks ago he and 2 of his friends were idiots and got caught by the campus police smoking pot on the edge of the campus but still on university grounds.  They were all allowed to return to their dorms and I am not sure what is happening to other 2 kids but my son is losing his scholarships this week and we will find out if he will be allowed to remain at the college since he violated the school drug policy which he signed.  Without saying too much, [b]this college is very liberal[/b] and my husband and I were not expecting such severe sanctions for a first-time offense.  I guess we're the idiots.  Just posting this cautionary tale in case you might b inclined to warn your own kids.[/quote]

interesting. Is this school large? My sister used to get caught by campus 'police' for pot ALL the time. Like once a week for almost 3 years straight. She dealed for a while (didn't get caught doing that) and was a notorious smoker - so much so that the dean knew and would call her in and ask her why she smokes so much. Then the dean would then tell her to tone it down a bit and not walk around campus brazenly smoking a joint in the middle of the day.

I think the reason (besides it being very liberal school) why my sister didn't ever get in trouble was because the school is really small. Even medium sized schools (student bodies of 4k and above) have to have more rigid rules whereas smaller schools have lots of flexibility.

I'm not going to name the school but it's a top 10 LAC. They were a lot harsher on public underage drunkeness, which was automatic police involvement called onto campus.
