I wouldn't advocate allowing alcohol in the dorms or even on campus (including game days). I would, however, advocate allowing faculty and students who are of age to drink. (For the record, I've never drank a drop of alcohol in my life.)
While we aren't hurting for numbers residentially, I'd be willing to bet our retention rates are not great. Had I been forced to live on campus, I would've lasted at most two semesters before leaving. If we even still had the khakis dress code, I never would've considered transferring into Liberty.
I know how much Liberty impacted my life and made me into the person I am today and it saddens me that there are people in similar situations as I was who would never give the school a chance or who would leave before they should because of the rules we have. I care about rule changes not because Liberty needs them to recruit students, but because I want people who were like me to be impacted in the same way I was.
