Letter to the Editor by Miranda Ribeiro-Vecino | AOD student event policies have no place at Penn
(09/20/17 12:33am)
Like many other students at Penn, I came back to campus 3 weeks ago with little to no knowledge of the newly instated policy that all “student group events” held on campus, off campus or at third-party venues must now be registered with the Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Program Initiatives, regardless of whether or not alcohol is present. While I understand the need to register events that occur on campus, extending this policy to address events that occur off campus and at third-party venues is a gross invasion of privacy. It is a corruption of the values this "liberal" institution purports to protect.
