It was paid out the SGA funding, which is a part of the university. SGA Funds come from a university's student services and activities fee, which each enrolled student must pay. The SGA is an approved Emory activity. Thus anything sponsored by SGA or paid for by SGA is paid for by Emory and thus associated with Emory.
I'm not really seeing where everyone is so adamant about why this is wrong. Emory pulled a free bus shuttle program. That's within their right to do. There are still cabs and designated drivers if the students want to go out drinking. Underage drinking is illegal. Yes, people are going to do it, but a majority of people breaking a law doesn't make it legal. If you get busted you're still screwed. If there's a bus sponsored by a college activity and it is going to the bars and back, it is fair game for the cops to pull people over so they can bust people for underage intoxication. They could do the same in your dorm room or your parents' home.
