Our schools are regulating off campus behavior, why shouldn’t colleges? Students are being suspended for internet posts made from their own computers during weekends. A few years ago my Nephew was suspended for smoking. I’m not going to get into the health issue here. He was 18, legal to smoke, in his yard on a Saturday. A teacher driving by saw him. About that same time, students at a nearby school district were suspended. Their crime was going on a church trip to Germany, with their parents and drinking beer. They were legally able to drink beer in Germany. Somebody posted pictures of them and the school district found out about it. Hell, by the time they get to college, they should be used to the intrusion.

They shouldn’t be doing it either.
