I agree with Scansmom:



Absolutely it’s fear of lawsuits. Colleges often either look the other way or give you a slap on the wrist for “minor” alcohol infractions. Otherwise, as others have stated, they’d risk losing a huge number of their student population. But if the infraction is at a level where there are possible liability issues at stake, they take action, and often, regardless of whether it is a first offense or not.



I believe that there are sometimes mixed messages, even though official policies are very clear. Still, everyone should know the law, and everyone should know the official policy.
