Many HBCUs have rules that in some way legislate moral character. For example, our dorms had "visiting hours" - a time when guest of the opposite sex were allowed to come to your room. All guest of the opposite sex had to leave at midnight and were most certainly NOT allowed to stay overnight. We even had surprise room checks to catch people breaking the rules. So no, I'm not surprised to hear about a school actually enforcing a "moral code".
In the case of David Cash though.....Good Samaritan laws are not really effective and shouldn't be on the books IMO. I mean really, how would a city enforece these types of laws in the 'hood (for lack of a better term) where people see bad/illegal things go down all the time, but will not speak or report them to the police (for fear of retribution of course). Will these laws apply there? Will they arrest entire city neighborhoods now?
Getting involved in a situation (especially a potentially dangerous one) can be personal decision. Now granted, if i was David, I would have turned Jeremy's crazy tail in so fast...... But I do know that not every situation is that cut and dry.
But in general, no, I don't think there should be Good Samaritan laws.
