It seems that every few months there is some problem involving illegal activity at Menlo College. Who is minding the store there? Is it just that there are a whole lot of over privileged, entitled people who think that they are above the law?

How do you know the men are over-privileged and entitled? Isn't that a bad assumption on your part

Janet, I don't think Menlo College is any different from any other college (or high school for that matter). This is not to say that it's okay, but I don't think it's fair to point the finger at Menlo College or accuse them all of being entitled or over-privileged or above the law. The actions of a few are not necessarily representative of the whole.

Sounds like the campus security officer did the appropriate thing - as did the police in this instance.

Let's hope Menlo College now has a judicial affairs process that will lead to the appropriate punishment of the individuals involved.

Menlo has always had a bad rep for drugs, at both the high school and college level. As much as things change, some things remain the same.
