[quote=Anonymous]Beginning in the 1980s, colleges and universities began a very "hands off" approach to anything personal in the lives of their students. It protects them from liability. Any precedents that suggest school are acting "in loco parentis" (in place of parents) is a bomb waiting to go off, in their view. This has given rise to much risky behavior on the part of youth who aren't at all prepared to be unsupervised adults. Colleges are quite coy about telling parents their position on this, but it's quite clear that this is a case in point. I would do everything in my power to dissuade my daughter from continuing responsibility for the roommate, including contacting the other girl's parents.[/quote]
