Policies and Restrictions on Drinking Alcohol on Campus

Questioner: Anonymous

Posted to: David S. Szymanski, UNF President

Can you please explain the recent new restrictions on students drinking alcohol?  Are these warranted?

In my country, most of universities give the students freedoms for drinking the alcohol when legal age is attained. To me it now seems that UNF wants more restrictives for students drinking the alcohol. How come is this? We know the students will drink – we now should focus the efforts on education and safety. Please someone to explain the reasons for more alcohol restrictives.
Thank you much.

Response from the Floor:

We have a new alcohol policy. It is modeled off of national trends set forth by the National Institute of Fraternity guidelines will be followed; alcohol will be allowed on a permission basis.
