Maybe they should try this one.

"Alcohol is not allowed anywhere minors (under 21) are allowed. If a security officer or other college official has reason to believe underage drinking is occurring, they are REQUIRED to identify those engaging and stop it. Resistance to this will be met with a call to the local police, sheriff's office, and the state police, as necessary. Those resisting will be immediately suspended from school, pending an investigation that may lead to expulsion."

That "ploy" would likely put a stump in it.

Of course, now with the number of eligible students with enough potential to actually complete a college education diminishing, they're afraid nobody will apply to school.

They'd all have to do it at once. Kind of like "collusion".report abuse
