Northampton County's four colleges and universities will join DA John Morganelli today to address drinking at the four campuses and potentially outline a unified strategy toward keeping students safe, particularly freshmen during their initial weeks away from home.
“Obviously, college students will continue to drink,” Morganelli said. “My purpose in having this summit is to avoid the kinds of tragedies we have seen on a daily basis across the country and right here.”
Before the roundtable, representatives of Lehigh University, Moravian College , Lafayette College and Northampton Community College will hear presentations about alcohol abuse by college students.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
An exercise in futility.
ReplyDeletePerhaps bo will speak
ReplyDeleteIs it a BYOB? Bring your own bong?
ReplyDeleteBernie and his friend Jack are scheduled to speak (Jack Daniels).
ReplyDeleteProhibitions lead to abuse. We're more than happy to send 18-year olds to die in uniform. But God forbid they have a beer. We create our own immaturity regarding alcohol.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the era of eighteen year-olds being able to buy alcohol legally. Although it wasn't as much fun as it was before.
ReplyDeleteLehigh University and Lafayette college are disgraceful.
ReplyDeleteCriminal institutions in this regard.
Is this a problem at trade schools? Or in the work force with young people?
ReplyDeleteOr is it just a problem for those privileged enough to attend college?
Although most have exposure to alcohol, it seems to be a problem of privilege more than an alcohol problem.
A roundtable on privilege recognition and personal and parental responsibility might be more effective.
Bernie to bring Johnny with him =Johnny Walker !
