In no way am I defending the behavior of these students, but this is not something the university administration itself can prevent. What exactly do you expect a university administration to do - escort the kids everywhere like a helicopter parent? No college will provide that level of oversight. These are young adults, and reasonably intelligent ones at that. This event is tied to the greek community (representative of only 35% of the student body), and has resulted in campus-wide discussion along with university administration meetings with the leadership of the greek community - which hopefully will result in some changes. Bad PR for Miami University for sure, but the way collegeDAD2017 implies that this level of binge drinking is uncommon at most other universities is woefully naive. Many colleges go to extreme lengths to hide these sorts of incidents from the press, so at least the Oxford community owned up. It’s certainly a tragedy that a Miami student died recently due to alcohol consumption, but the fact that the friends of those affected this past weekend did the right thing to get them help and prevent additional deaths deserves pause and shows that there is a support structure in place.
