...runs counter to the organization’s reputation. Although AlcoholEDU is tedious, it serves as an introduction to healthy drinking habits for the many freshman teetotalers entering Harvard.

What happens to students who live in a world of draconian punishments for binge drinking after they graduate from college? They may well resort to the bottle when times get tough.

"The natural tendency is to get careless and defensive. To keep them safe, I need...
...this said, we are appreciative of whatever programming will be available, and we are glad that the College has informed us of the details about the upcoming J-Term at a relatively early point this year. Next year’s J-Term does promise to provide an experience of some substance for many students. However, given the potential of this time period, we are sure that the College can do better. J-Term was not conceived of as J-Week, and it should not continue to be treated in such a manner...
