I wouldn't want that lifted anyway. I mean even though it's in the rules, I've always heard it's "just know that people are watching you as you are representing the university" when it comes to off-campus drinking. Cause undoubtably it still goes on probably.

All I can say is that I'll never touch it. And I recommend that others do too.

Good point, Cider. I didn't word that very well. "Disgusted" is a strong word that doesn't represent what I intended. "Surprised" would be much better. For instance, we offer a course called "American Exceptionalism." An observation was made that "Regent would never offer such a course." I'm glad that Liberty does.

Regent is indeed conservative, but maybe not as much as I had thought.

Really Humble??? When did I ever say smoking pot was a good idea? I don't agree with alcohol but I don't want to ban it for everybody.

LOL - it's a joke... relax. I just thought that thread about legalizing marijuana was so funny so I'm using it elsewhere.

When you joke on here you gotta make it obvious or else other members of this board won't understand

I heard once that Jerry considered lifting LU's drinking policy in the Liberty Way for students who were over 21 and if consumption occurred off campus. However, the Board of Trustees said no. Anyone confirm or deny?

Which Jerry?

All I know, supposedly, the dean of the law school was in agreement with Jerry.

Im actually stating something that a well known professor told me. This person is also very involved in the school.....HMO could say im wrong

It is just a topic, but I think the Chancellor could respond and say that it did or did not happen.
