We could not block all of the screens, but we did change the channel on the big screen because we felt it was our responsibility since [Student Services] sponsored the event.
As tough as these consequences are, we will not back down from that. We love the students. We want them to learn these are dangerous issues they are involving themselves in.
We felt like if we could knock them [the alcohol-promoting commercials] out on the big screen that it was something that needed to be done.
Because the guys had been wanting to get back on campus, this is a privilege for them, and we expect them to uphold their end of the bargain. If they don't they will be penalized.
The guys that were originally in Unit C were moved out into the houses because the new [female] resident hall did not open. We wanted to give them a chance to move back on campus because they had been displaced and were living in houses that had more residents than desired.
I talked with some people who watched the game at their church, where all the commercials were blocked and replaced with cartoons. That is something we may look into in the future.
We have unfortunately had 33 students that have had to withdraw from school [this semester]. That is an issue we want people to understand we will deal with it and we want people to stay away from it.
We are also wanting to place a sign in memory of Brittany. It wouldn't be up forever, but at least for a while.
Not only are we impacting our community through impact teams and ministry, but now we can use this as a way to impact.
