Policy to curb drinking
ATHENS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio University is enacting stronger policies meant to curb student drinking, including expanding parental notification in cases of underage drinking and cracking down on students who get into trouble off campus.
When it takes effect this fall, parents will be informed whenever freshmen or sophomores under 21 and with fewer than 90 credit hours violate the university's alcohol or drug rules. The current policy requires only parents of freshmen to be notified.
