It's sad that its come to that but yes, sometimes people need to be told how to protect themselves.

natalie holloway was 17, on a freaking UNSUPERVISED trip to Aruba with friends her age. what parent lets their underage daughter travel out of the country UNSUPERVISED? not to sound insensitive, but did her parents expect 100% safety? (not that she deserved it, but i get really POed re: this case. her parents are just as responsible as she and her friends were)
a little different than 18-21 year-old girls/women living on a (hopefully) security-protected campus.
i've only lived in co-ed housing with NO visitation rules/nighttime curfews (our strictest rule is: no overnight guests more than 3 nights in a row, which is nothing compared to what im hearing).
even though our school seems to be lax with these dorm rules, our school (and staff) understands that 18-21 year olds are on a continuum of adultness and don't always know what is best in protecting themselves. however, if you are at a school like NYU, you better learn it quick--this city aint for no punks.
if someone is clearly drunk or seems hazardous in anyway, they are not allowed to be signed into the building. repeat offenders are PNG'd from the building (meaning they are legally bound by that law and can be arrested for stepping foot in the building).
