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.

That a upper tier college like Duke washes its hands of student behaviour like this, or worse -- going back to the Animal House days, but not much before those years, and even not as big then -- is a factor to liability, imo. And I bet that at some point those young near-men and slightly more worn ladies of the drunken nights take on a swashbucking legal team (to use a metaphor from the last scenes of AH) and take a run those ivy ramparts, major endowments and deep pockets a major U like Duke has.
