College Presidents Unite To Lower Drinking Age. WHAT?!?

College Presidents From Across The Country Want This To Be Legal!

Yes it is true, while Kerwin has not signed on to this movement, boatloads of college presidents have. The movement, headed by a group called the Amethyst Initiative, claims the drinking age should be lowered in an effort to stop underage binge drinking. Although Mothers Against Drunk Driving yell to differ, the group has been getting tons of press including a great profile from the AP.

Amethryst in their offical statement says, “Alcohol education that mandates abstinence as the only legal option has not resulted in significant constructive behavioral change among our students… By choosing to use fake IDs, students make ethical compromises that erode respect for the law.”

Amethryst boasts the signatures of around 100 college presidents including Duke, Dartmouth, Ohio State, and Tufts. As welcome week starts perhaps Kerwin will sign onto the movement along with his compatriots from Duke, Dartmouth, and Colgate, our dear Patriot League pal. Whatever stops those embarassing Sibley transports might be a good idea right?
