It's a public school. Does it irk anyone else that the school thinks it gets to determine the future of Greek Life? They can work with FSL groups as partners. The school cannot deny these groups' right to exist.

They don't have to recognize them as student organizations. As soon as they do recognize them, aren't they then somewhat liable for what occurs? Whereas, if a group of students are part of an organization that isn't a recognized student organization, the college/university has no jurisdiction over them and aren't liable?

My alma mater had a fall enrollment of over 24,000 last year. How is the university expected to police all those students? Is the university liable for what members of the football team do? What about the band? Members of the Sierra club? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I honestly don't know.

This is what the dumbass GL director did at Plymouth State - refused to recognize certain groups - and there were terrible consequences. In for a buck, in for a quarter.

Finding the school liable for the conduct of students at non-school activities is an uphill climb. And one could always argue that their failure to recognize and regulate these organizations is a breach in and of itself. I don't know whether that argument works because I'm not researching New York tort law tonight.
