Five months after former Stanford University student Brock Turner was convicted of sexually assaulting a young woman on campus, Stanford has issued a ban on hard alcohol at undergraduate parties.
Part of the school's stated effort to "meaningfully change the campus culture around alcohol," the guidelines Stanford introduced on Monday prohibit high-volume distilled alcohol containers at many events in order to make liquor less available.
Though school officials have denied that there's any link between the Turner case and the liquor ban, the new policy has been criticized as a half-baked response to calls for the university to take more proactive measures to combat campus sexual assault. Which makes sense, considering that simply banning alcohol likely won't reduce the incidence of rape on campus.
