<p>@Benley, I get the impression it’s no worse or better than any other year but each of these tragic stories are gruesome reminders of what a thin edge these kids tread. Last Spring, just before Commencement 12-15 kids were expelled/probationed for a single off-campus party. It’s particularly tough when a kid is expelled close to graduation, occasionally even for alcohol the night before! I always make a point of discussing these incidents with my daughter several times, hoping that something sticks!</p>
