Dear Editor: In response to the recent coverage about UW-Madison students, alcohol overdoses and detox, I wanted to share my perspective on the issue.
Alcohol is indeed a problem here at UW-Madison, as it is at many, if not all of our peer institutions. In partnership with students, police, the city and community, the Office of the Dean of Students is committed to the safety of our students, which includes communicating important messages about drinking on our campus and promoting programs that do not involve the consumption of alcohol.
