I don't see why it is being complained about. University has no moral duty to provide social life, their only goal (and, the goal of the students!) should be to teach / learn.
- imgabe 4y agoOf course, we should never do anything beneficial unless there is an explicit moral duty to do it. In this case, all that Standford had to do was nothing and let the emergent social life continue uninterrupted. Did they have a moral duty to interfere with the students' right to free association?

And keep watching as students were routinely subjected to hazing, excessive drinking and sometimes outright criminal behavior such as overt discrimination, hate crimes, sexual assault up to rapes? Fraternities had more than enough chances to rein in the worst of the bad behavior and they failed ridiculously at that. At some point, adults had to take over since self-regulation failed.
- imgabe 4y agoNobody is subjected to hazing or “excessive“ drinking. These are voluntary activities you can choose to engage in or not. For criminal matters there’s the police. It was not limited only to fraternities either.

- imgabe 4y agoHow does that prove that anyone is subjected to it against their will? If you don't want to be hazed, don't pledge a fraternity. It's not very complicated.
