A first-year student who went to UHS earlier this fall after drinking says that her meeting with her proctor and Assistant Dean Philip A. Bean was relatively low-key.
She says her comfortable relationship with her proctor kept the meeting casual.
"They were really cool about it," says the student, who asked to remain anonymous. "They just wanted to make sure that I was all right and that there was no real history to be worried about."
The student says she was not asked about where and with whom she was drinking--even though her proctor ran into her friends when he came to visit her at the hospital.
The FDO does not intend conversations with students to follow a disciplinary line of questioning, says Noah S. Selsby '95, a senior proctor of the Ivy Yard.
"The usual questions should ask why the student drank, rather than how," Selsby says.
Beyond the Yard, House residents say that enforcement of alcohol policy does not result in extensive questioning by administrators.
