I think the Brock Turner case was a significant  loss to the university brand, regardless of whether they had any legal or financial liability. And it also put them on notice that excessive alcohol consumption by underclassmen was a problem. Especially given some quotes I think I remember reading where Turner tried to blame an alcohol culture on campus.

Yeah, I suppose this is probably a reaction to the Brock Turner case, though it doesn't appear to be a particularly helpful or logical reaction. Of course this would be far from the first time that "doing something" won out over doing something useful.


And exactly when did the cheesy marketing phrase "brand" start substituting for ... well most everything under the sun?  In this case a substitute for the word "reputation" it would seem.
