“I haven’t read most of the posts here. So maybe this has already been said. But, is there a problem with the OP’s brother taking off for a year, getting a job, getting some insight on alcohol abuse with a counselor, and then going back to Syracuse a changed man? Were it my own kid, I think I would encourage this instead of having him just hightail it to Tulane without dealing with the destructive issues in his life.”

I think you are right; he does need some time to introspectively reflect. My issue though is with the school. After the first incident they should have attempted to help, but instead they allowed it to spiral out of control and just brushed him aside to avoid a possible law suit.
