"Mr. Brodhead in due course reinstated the team, but on probation, and with conditions, i.e., no underage drinking and disorderly conduct, and no harassment. The members of other Duke organizations, sports teams included, which had sponsored parties where alcohol flowed freely and which had featured strippers--an informal count reveals at least 20 known to have done so--no doubt understood that they faced no similar disciplinary action."

However, in a demonstration of breathtaking magnanimity, President Brodhead said that "Lacrosse players could participate in underage drinking, disorderly conduct and harassment at the parties of other sports teams." The only requirement is that the other teams must "closely supervise the Lacrosse members."

If I get your drift, you raise a deeper point. When I first started teaching, the term, 'in loco parentis' applied. Due to the efforts of liberals on faculty and in the administration, and even, surprisingly, to parents complaints, this became, and is now, 'anything goes'. Colleges have become places where binge drinking, pervasive casual sex and robotic liberal propaganda with no tolerance for dissent is the norm.
