In these groups, many outdoor activities were taking place in high-risk environments such as unsupervised or lightly-patrolled areas with unreliable or no cell phone service. Proximity to emergency services also is a consideration, Powers said.

“Outing Club”
Apparently not what I thought it was at first...
I thought a “outing club” was the ones where you publicly identify the Homo.
Is Penn State going to reject international students also? I mean, they’re so far from home and America is such a scary place one cannot be allowed “outside” where one can’t be supervised and protected from themselves.
We might as well lock this generation in the padded rooms now, because this kind of mental manipulation is sending them there anyway.
Outing. Another word hijacked by the homos.
All universities need to eliminate all funding for non-academic diversions. As much as I approve of this rare positive group, we should not include support for an “outing club” in tuition - and we also should not include support for the other 1033 student organizations funded by students who should be there for an education.
So much for climbing Mt. Nittany.
Do the “high risk” clubs that are being shut down have a record of injuries? Or does the idea of being outdoors without a full bubble wrap suit and a personal nanny scare some pencil neck administrator who has never worked up a sweat?
My thoughts exactly. If they were to have padded rooms for all Penn State students, they would have to change the name of the University to Penned State. They would have to hire an army of inspectors to make sure the student pens met all safety requirements to prevent any possibility of injury.
Of course, with an army of safety inspectors, Penn State's ivy tower dwellers would be assigned an aid to make sure they rolled out of their cars and got to their office executive chairs without falling on their fat asses.
There is Greenwich Village and Fire Island around here. But I assume people living there have already been ‘outed’ by others or more likely by themselves.
Unless of course the “outings” are to protest guns, the Constitution, or the Bible....
Betcha they’d let them go if the students signed liability waivers....
So now restricted to tea parties in the back yard under supervision?
Staff diddling with boys was not considered a high risk activity, however. That they let go on for years.
It killed the enthusiasm of nearly everyone.
Lwhy not, liquor store owners and drug dealers will be happier with no student activity groups.
Afraid of lawsuits.
Life just isn’t safe anymore.
I think the snowflakes would melt if the campus announced a Tea Party event.
Why? Are there coaches that go with them and molest them?
