WSU takes steps to reduce binge drinking

Washington State University will take new steps to try to reduce binge drinking and drug use by students, including scheduling more Friday morning classes and notifying parents if an underage student is caught drinking or using drugs, university officials announced Monday.

The Pullman-based school started examining ways to address drug and alcohol use by students after a student died of alcohol poisoning in October.

Among the proposed changes, WSU officials will notify parents the first time an underage student violates alcohol and drug policies. Full story.
