"Yes. Also called a "proctor", a "live-in", a "house mother", a "resident professor". A mature adult who sees the consquences of idiotic behaviour. Behaviour this idiotic gets young men and women killed every week on the roads, and in the "long-term" can be a life-shortening event."
You really didn't have to explain that to me. I graduated from nursing school before attending college. We had a "house-mother." That's because the nursing school had a total of about 200 students. Besides, I remember coming in late several times with my classmates after attending frat parties. One of our excuses was that we lost our car's transmission and we had to go back to get it off the road.. These women said that they were glad we were able to find it. True story. We always laughed all the way back to our rooms.
My point is.....how do you have house-mothers responsible for 12,400 Duke students? I have two children...one went to a university with 17,000 students, the other, with 26,000 students. Some students live in dorms, some in rented homes/apartments and others buy homes near or at a distance from the campus.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but you have no idea what college life is all about.
I glad to hear you vouch from your own life experience for the concept. Tell me, how $much$ is a year at Duke? Of all that $getting$, can't Duke get some sane adult oversight of young people enrolled in their once esteemed institution, just like your good old little nursing school was able to do?
