Feds easily infiltrated SDSU drugs culture
Six fraternities suspended, dozens held in alleged drug-dealing ring
SAN DIEGO - Undercover agents who posed as college students to bust more than 100 suspected drug dealers at San Diego State University never had to crack a book to gain acceptance on campus. All it took was cash.
The federal agents went to one or two parties but never actually went to class or lived in the dorms. Instead, they merely arranged meetings with suspected dealers and asked about buying cocaine, Ecstasy, methamphetamine, marijuana and other drugs, authorities said Wednesday.

Student group protests SDSU drug bust
SAN DIEGO – In protest of Tuesday's drug bust, members of the Students for Sensible Drug Policy on Wednesday held a mock graduation ceremony at San Diego State University for the 75 students arrested plus the two who died on campus.
They want the university to establish a “Good Samaritan” policy that would protect students from punishment when they call to report drug overdoses involving peers.
The small protest drew a couple dozen spectators.
Randy Hencken, outgoing president of the student organization, said SDSU should not have called in federal drug enforcement agents, or arrested so many students.
“Most of the people arrested were minor drug users,” he said. The drug busts will not prevent drug abuse on campus, said Hencken, who also said his organization supports the legalization of drugs.

SDSU drug victim’s brother: Most parents ‘unaware’
‘One mistake cost her her life,’ says man whose sister’s death spurred probe
Nate Poliakoff, whose sister’s death of a drug overdose one year ago sparked the undercover investigation at San Diego State University that resulted in the arrests of 96 people Tuesday, said parents underestimate the availability and intensity of drugs on college campuses today.
“I think parents are unaware of the severity of the drug problem,” Poliakoff told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Wednesday from Poway, Calif. “They may be comparing it back to when they were in school, when marijuana may have been the big, prevalent drug. People can experiment with that and it’s not going to cost you your life. It’s not as intense as cocaine, Ecstasy, OxyContin — things of that sort — so I think there’s a substantial difference in the drugs being used.”
