None of that is true. Have you considered the idea that speaking out could have negative consequences for my son, who still has a couple of years at that university? They have already shown their cards in so many ways. One of my son's roommates during his first year (an 18 year old) both sold alcohol and drugs from their shared dorm room and consumed them in such amounts that it was common for him to vomit in his bed multiple times a week and generally be dysfunctional, much less study. Both parents from the remaining two kids in the room brought this up to university authorities, including police. I physically went to meetings with them. The other parents did the same. We wrote countless letters. We wanted this kid to get help. He was here from another country, had no support system and was harming himself and others in incredible ways. The university utterly ignored our requests. They told us the only option we had was for our kids to move to a different dorm room. Never mind the kid who was killing himself while dealing drugs and alcohol. Fast forward to the end of the term, he takes a flying leap from the top of a flight of stairs and suffers serious physical damage. The university still does nothing, in fact, despite failing his courses they allow him to continue and enroll for the next term. He spends much of his time in bed, gains a tremendous amount of weight and his quality of life became unbearable. I'll stop the story at that point. The university, did not care. We could have saved this kid's life. They had at least six people screaming at the top of their lungs for months when this problem started. They did nothing. And the kid paid the price. Well, I guess he was worth $60K per year, it must have been worth it. This kind of thing --not this exact kind of thing-- goes on at many universities across the US. I am in touch with parents with kids in universities ranging from Berkeley to MIT. They all have stories of ideologically or financially (or both) wrongdoing. It's just the way it is.
