Local - I would call that a much less than watertight "loophole." Why? Because the university would have to PROVE in court that deferred rush would indeed PREVENT those things AT THE UNIVERSITY IN QUESTION.
very difficult to pull off.

The loophole is Section 112.B.2:
(b) CONSTRUCTION- Nothing in this section shall be construed--
(2) to prevent an institution of higher education from taking appropriate and effective action to prevent violations of State liquor laws, to discourage binge drinking and other alcohol abuse, to protect students from sexual harassment including assault and date rape, to prevent hazing, or to regulate unsanitary or unsafe conditions in any student residence.
These clauses allow administrator to demand defered rush as a method of reducing hazing and alcohol violations. UF has not gone to a defered rush system, but it has been in discussion for the last few years. The primary reasons the administrators have said they want a defered rush is to eliminate alcohol and hazing.
