<p>By all means, discourage your daughter from applying to Notre Dame, if that makes you feel better. But the truth is that ALL young people who get intoxicated and then put themselves in situations alone with a member of the opposite sex are vulnerable – the girls put themselves at risk of assault, or of sexual activities to which they would not have consented if sober, and the guys put themselves at risk of being accused of sexual assault when a young woman later regrets her sexual behavior with a stranger. So the best approach to keep your children safe is twofold: Provide proper moral/spiritual formation so that they do not regard “hooking up” as harmless recreation, and make sure they understand their limits with regard to alcohol consumption.</p>
