Ban on Hard Alcohol?

Something like 91% of students voted against the ban - but from how I understand it Stanford is under no obligation to consider the student response. General sentiment on campus is that very few people think it’s a good idea as far as student safety is concerned. Not just students but also resident fellows (the “adults” who supervise dorms) generally seem against it.

Rumor has it that it will not be enacted by Hennessy but that the new president could push for it if he wanted to. It would mean instant unpopularity so it’s probably unlikely that the ban will be instituted anytime soon but it’s likely Stanford will do something to show that they’re taking it seriously. It could be something like changing up the frosh alcohol education program.
