That was because of racial and religious clauses the national orgs had in place at the time. It had nothing to do with insurance or risk management, which is why many locals are now being forced to go national (even if they haven't ever shown evidence of being a RM risk).

The only thing these two concepts have in common is that in both cases the school is trying to cover their asses - first by saying "OMG racism bad" and then by saying "OMG alcoholz bad." Whether the people running the schools actually feel that way is debatable.
