Since that directly links to the "Student Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy", that’s also "fun" > All undergraduate student groups and residences may host only alcohol-free parties or events during Admit Weekend. > Beer, wine and packaged pre-mixed alcoholic beverages (e.g. wine coolers, pre-mixed cocktail or seltzer drinks under 20% alcohol by volume, etc.) are the only alcoholic beverages that can be present at on-campus undergraduate student parties > Shots of hard alcohol are prohibited at all parties. > Games and activities that promote high-risk drinking or rapid alcohol consumption are not allowed on campus. > While California has legalized certain recreational cannabis usage among persons aged 21 years or older, cannabis still remains illegal under federal law. […] For the avoidance of doubt, the possession, use, storage, delivery, cultivation, distribution and sale of cannabis in any form is prohibited on all Stanford University property, including university-owned and leased buildings, housing and parking lots. Cannabis is also not permitted at university events or while conducting university business.

This stuff is not at all new. Also, consider: > All undergraduate student groups and residences may host only alcohol-free parties or events during Admit Weekend. Not sure what point you’re trying to make. Underage Stanford students getting drunk is one thing (and one can quite reasonably debate the merits of the university trying to prevent it, trying to make it safer when it happens, etc m). Stanford students supplying alcohol that gets high school students drunk is another issue entirely. When I was an undergrad, we took this extremely seriously. You do not drink with the prospective students. You do not host a party where you might mistake a prospective freshman for a Stanford student. Even ignoring safety and liability, the purpose of going to a school like Stanford is not to get drunk. The prospective freshman have about 48 hours to learn what Stanford has to offer, and doing so drunk or hung over benefits no one. Here’s an article about it. This policy apparently dates to 2001: https://stanforddaily.com/2012/05/03/students-reflect-on-admit-weekend-alcohol-policy/ https://stanforddaily.com/2012/05/03/students-reflect-on-adm... (Other groups were surely less responsible.)
