Another UI Student Falls From Frat

A 19-year-old woman fell from the third story of a University of Idaho fraternity early today, the second such fall in less than two weeks. Amanda Andaverde was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle from Kootenai Medical Center “due to the severity of her injuries,” according to the Moscow Police Department. Andaverde, a sophomore majoring in animal and veterinary science, fell about 27 feet from a window at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, 920 Deakin Ave., at 1:10 a.m., police said. She was drunk, and there was a party at the fraternity Wednesday night, said Assistant Police Chief David Duke/Meghann M. Cuniff, SR. More here.

Question: Is it time for the UIdaho to take drastic steps to prevent further falls, now that two students have been severely injured in falls from fraternities? What steps would you suggest?
