There are 6 comments on First Hockey Task Force Public Meeting Tomorrow

  1. This task force has been on this issue for so long I actually forgot what it was about.

    I’m so sick of these pointless PR maneuvers that BU constantly dishes out towards its problems. The hockey team is sexually assaulting women? Let’s build a task force! Unrecognized fraternity is hazing students? Dean Elmore is on the case!

    And yet, none of these problems ever get solved and our tuition continues to rise for some reason.

    1. If BU continues down its current route severing ties with every student organization, the school is going to drastically diminish in size and be overrun by “nonaffiliated students.” Perhaps they should stop running out the door when things hit the fan and earnestly attempt to address the issue at hand.

  2. Sexual Assaults have occurred at the Air Force and Naval Academies along with West Point; The military’s most serious problem is sexual assaults (surpassing suicide), Subsequent to issues involving hockey players, a sorority was suspended for hazing, A student was arrested for alleged misdeeds in the library, an insensitive April fool piece in the newspaper bombed resulting in resignations and just last evening a fraternity incident of hazing was reported.

    The fact is whatever is at issue is not a Hockey Problem, it is a societal problem. One thing I believe that has been a constant over the last 45 years (and perhaps longer) is that alcohol and sex is a volatile mix!
