In response to the death in March of a freshman who was binge drinking, Rider University said yesterday that it would take steps to curb campus drinking, including banning alcohol at fraternity parties. The freshman, Gary DeVercelly, 18, of Long Beach, Calif., had a blood alcohol content of .426 when he died after a night of drinking at the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house. In April, the university appointed a task force of faculty and staff members and students to come up with ways to address drinking on campus. The group’s recommendations, issued yesterday, include prohibiting alcohol at all social events in residence halls or fraternity houses. Sororities did not allow alcohol at parties even before Mr. DeVercelly’s death. The recommendations will go into full effect this fall. Students over 21 would still be allowed to drink alcohol in their rooms.Posted by Brooklyn College Art Education | 0 comment(s)
