<p>This is the world we live in. When your kid gets injured on campus, who gets sued? If school lets them drink or gives the impression that it is ok, they are at fault. You can’t do anything without signing a waiver. The biggest threat for the students (I think) is that VU notifies parents of the behavior, which wouldn’t happen otherwise. How many parents have drinking parties at their houses for their senior hs graduation and supply alcohol? You would be asking for trouble. Why do you thing your kids should be allowed to do whatever they feel like doing on campus?
And the drug use at VU is minimal. I never saw anyone shooting up, or doing cocaine, while I am sure it is somewhere. I found very few students smoke pot. Many of the drug abusers tend to leave or get kicked out. Drinking is more common and the drug of choice, especially on campus. Considering how close VU is to Philly, I was surprised with the lack of drug use (which was a good thing).</p>
