Legal question?

[shadokat]

madmax,

If you're at Bloomsburg, the reason that they are trying to implement this policy, which will of course be found to be unconstitutional, is due to the significant number of tragedies that have happened within fraternities that are not recognized by campus.

Here's an example: A fraternity member is found dead in his house, and an autopsy reveals it is alcohol related. That student's parents decides to sue, and they do so by suing the fraternity and its members, and then the University. They sue the University because their child is a student there, and while it is not the responsibility of the University to play "mom and dad" to the student, parents often go after Universities in these situations and win.

Sounds to me as if the University is trying to protect itself from any more damage with regards to unrecognized groups. Also, by providing unrecognized groups to reaffiliate with the University, you regain all of the benefits of doing so, and thus can be under the rules that apply to those recognized organizations.

Make any sense?
