From the University of Wisconsin Daily Cardinal…
UW-Madison’s new policy of contacting parents of students intoxicated in
life-threatening drinking situations has already resulted in 22 phone calls home
this semester.According to UW-Madison Dean of Students Lori Berquam, all
but one of these incidents involved students who had been sent to detoxification
for binge drinking.Housing officials informed incoming students of the
new parental involvement policy [before the school year began.]According to Berquam, "80 to 85 percent are freshman and the
remaining are sophomores."After an incident takes place, parents are
usually called while the student is present.
