| 22 March 2001 College Presidents’ Forum Heads of Universities Sign Historic Agreement to Address Alcohol Problems Among College Students What: College presidents, student leaders, and public officials sign policies that will change the environment that tolerates, if not encourages, underage and high-risk drinking. The policies will address: the promoting, advertising, and pricing of alcoholic beverages in ways that appeal to youth, enforcing underage drinking laws on and off campus, alcohol-free housing, intervention for students experiencing drinking problems, and other issues affecting student environments. Why: More than 40 percent of college students binge drink, and three-fourths of all students report adverse effects as a result of another student’s drinking. Students under 21 drink more and experience more negative consequences than their older counterparts. This signing demonstrates a unified commitment from college administrators, educators, students, law enforcement, and public health officials to reduce youth access to alcohol, crack down on adult providers, and reduce the negative effects of drinking on the student community. When: Friday, March 23, 2001, Forum Discussion 2-4, Signing Ceremony 4:00 PM Where: Doubletree Hotel, Mission Valley – Grand Ballroom 7450 Hazard Center Drive San Diego, CA 92108 Who: Dr. Stephen Weber, President, San Diego State University Augustine Gallego, Chancellor, San Diego Community College District Other college presidents and higher education representatives. Associated Student Presidents and other student leaders. Representatives from law enforcement agencies, including campus police chiefs. County public health officials. |
