Education on the responsibilities of drinking needs to begin with the Freshmen and continue from there. There was a suggestion of having an open forum to discuss the issues. There seems to be quite an interest on campus at this time on the alcohol initiative. President Dubois talked on the issue of raising tuition. At this time, anyone who is taking 12 credit hours or more, pay just one price.
Some students take a course for a few weeks and then drop it.
This is a waste of resources and if the fee structure was changed to charge per credit hour over the 12 hours, it would help control this situation. The tuition structure needs to be looked at long-term. The goal is to get a system that won't waste the resources. One issue is to try to get a degree in 4 years not 5 years without going to summer school. If anyone wants to see the text of President Dubois' speech, it is on the Web.
