I don’t know about yield this year, there could be a drop I suppose. However, as a parent of a current junior who is strongly considering Wesleyan, I would not discourage her from applying. She and I have discussed the issue at length this week, and I pointed out that some parents may be hesitant to consider Wes for their children now. In my opinion this event should trigger an even stronger push by the school administration to educate students and crack down on drug use campus wide. The dangers of drug use will certainly be on the minds of many Wes students, at least in the short term. I am not naive enough to believe that drug use will stop at Wes, but I would not let this incident keep my daughter from attending. Drug use occurs on all campuses. Open communication and education of our children will hopefully help them to make wise choices when they go off to college. But…there are no guarantees, we must trust their judgment, hope for the best, and be ready to support them if they fall. Wesleyan is a fantastic school with many strengths. I have been reading CC for several months now, and I agree with all who say that @Englishman has an axe to grind. It would be nice if he would just move on.
