Honestly the Police Yourself campaign was WIDELY touted. It wasn't like this was a surprise to anyone especially those attending or having parties close to campus. The two incidents mentioned did spark this but as someone who teaches as part of my assistantship I can tell you that students, who I know to be underage, come to my class drunk or hungover or high routinely. I teach at 11 and 1 MWF so there's no real excuse as to why someone should be drunk in my class.
Yes the fraternity party got busted but so have people walking home from various bars and parties that appeared to be drunk. A lot of parents are scared and they wanted the university to do something so they have. Even if it's more than some would like they are going into prevent mode and are acting in what may be perceived in an extreme manner. Is there an alternative? Probably, but considering how close we are to the end of the spring semester folks are just going to have to adjust until they leave for the summer.
