UW officials say student drinking is reaching an alarming rate, with the conveyances to detox centers double what they were a year ago.
“The bottom line is this is to the point where we’re seeing students physically endanger their lives,” interim Dean of Students Lori Berquam said.
In the first six weeks of this semester, police took 30 students to detox because of dangerously high levels of intoxication. In the same period last year they conveyed 17, although that number was down from 27 in 2003.
