in trouble for drinking

Suny Cortland needs to change its drinking violation policy. The policy tat stands now is if you get caught you get a strike if you get three strikes your out. If it is clear that you were not guilty you are allowed to protest the strike in hopes of getting t take away. This policy sounds very good on paper but doesn’t really work when put into use. In college a large percent of the population drinks and it seems like the students that have a few beers with their friends are the ones that get caught multipliable times where as the students that get ridiculous and cause problems some how manage to slip through the cracks. This weekend my friend bill is visiting he was a student here last year but was given two strikes one because he was caught drinking one beer and one because he was caught throwing out beer cans. Because he is responsible he transfused so that his transcript would not show he got kicked out. Bill drank often but never caused problems it is people like him that make me think the system is unfair I think that before a student is asked to leave or even given a strike they should take other things into mind. Like the students grades and extra curricular actives and even their situation at home. I know of may students on campus that do what ever they want and break a lot of rules and some how do not get caught it just doesn’t seem fair to get rid of some good kids that were in the wrong place at the wrong time and let the ass holes run free
