My rising sophomore son told me last night that he received an official email from the University yesterday on this topic.  He said that the various social channels were exploding and that the students and especially the RA's were extremely upset with this new rule.

I'm not a fan of having RA's police this ban, as I think it puts them in an awkward position with fellow students and will drive the drinking behind closed doors.  As my son stated, it will come down to how focused the University will be on enforcement.    This is the pendulum swinging too far in my humble opinion.

Perhaps that's what they want.  My frosh year at SCU that became the rule, drinking behind closed doors only.  See no drinking, know no drinking.
