<p>Without oversimplifying, it seems that the community of W&L students is trying to point out that the Honor System does not need new verbiage because it is equipped to deal with this and similar scenarios involving drivers who are not sober.</p>
<p>Put simply, getting behind the wheel of a car when you have been drinking, for the purpose of driving yourself and others home, is a lie (and therefore a violation of the community’s trust) because, unless you have fully disclosed your impairment, you are misrepresenting yourself as a sober driver. </p>
<p>My prayers continue for everyone whose lives are forever changed by this tragedy.</p>
