OT: UConn students evicted from dorms

[JonathanXIV]

Duly noted but to compound this situation at UConn, it was in an HONORS dorm that the party occurred. Most of these knuckleheads were given 1 person per room priority and usually have some form academic scholarship. The unfortunate news for the parents is the money is NOT refundable. So yeah, I am sort of with the majority here that these "young adults" were dolts and deserve what they got. The school is still reviewing the footage to expel more of these students from the dorm. In theory, the Honors students are supposed to be leaders...

The issue is not whether these students were "dolts." We can agree that they were. My point is not every college student is a "dolt," and that there are more than enough "dolts" among adults without a need to pile on college students.

Went into the Army Security Agency in 1964 at 18 feeling my father knew nothing. Got out in 1968 at 22 and realized my father was very smart. Amazing how when you learn to grow up and take responsibility how your parents get smarter.

One of my favorite quotes - Mark Twain says that at seventeen he could scarcely endure his father, the old gentleman was so ignorant; at twenty he noticed that his father said a sensible thing occasionally; at twenty-five he was astonished at the improvement his father had made in the last eight years
