Cornell Student's Death

Cornell's IFC voted to have a one-weekend moratorium on fraternity parties :

Excerpts:

. . . 10 chapters were planning to hold parties open to all students this weekend . . . .

The moratorium comes two weeks after the death of George Desdunes, a brother at SAE who was found unresponsive in his fraternity’s house and later died at Cayuga Medical Center. . . .

The University’s Board of Trustees is meeting on campus this weekend, and several Greek leaders said the moratorium was partly intended to show the trustees that the Greek system could be responsible. . . .

At the same meeting Friday afternoon, the Panhellenic Council voted to support IFC’s moratorium, asking its members to refrain from attending parties at fraternity houses this weekend. . . .


Comment: Dang. I wish I were a Cornell trustee so I could ask my trustee buddies confidentially how truly, deeply convinced they are by a one-weekend moratorium.
