New York Times denounces Amethyst Initiative

Written by Executive Editor on September 19th, 2008

Tuesday the New York Times took a break from its normal rationality and published a piece criticizing the previously covered Amethyst Initiative.

The college executives are right to be alarmed about the binge drinking that besieges their campuses. But there is no proof that easier access to alcohol would solve that problem, and there is strong evidence that college administrations could do a lot more than they are doing to combat the alcohol epidemic.
