They basically asked their staff to adhere to the Bible.

Where in the Bible is alcohol use forbidden? Wasn’t Jesus’ first miracle to turn water into wine for a wedding?
Jesus Himself would not be able to sign this pledge.
It's a theological point of view; surely you've heard about Baptists and other denominations who either don't believe in drinking or strongly discourage it?
It's not a view I hold but it's not polite to mock it and not really the place to debate the theology.
As far as I recall, the Bible doesn't say anything for or against about beer, whisky, vodka, tequila, rum, gin, or ouzo.
Drunkenness is condemned in the Bible. The policy doesn’t require them to refrain from taking alcohol in moderation on their own time, on their own property. It requires them not to drink with students or in public places. Seems like a reasonable balance for a Baptist university.
There are a lot of people who don’t drink. Did that story say that Jesus himself drank the wine? Even if he did he didn’t have a faculty event afterward.
