Kim urges alcohol abuse prevention

By Jamila Ma | February 11, 2010

The Hanover Police department's decision Wednesday to delay the implementation of alcohol law compliance checks provides an opportunity for students to reduce excessive drinking on campus, College President Jim Yong Kim said in an interview with The Dartmouth Editorial Board on Thursday. The Dartmouth community has the "challenge" of improving campus attitudes towards alcohol in order to ensure that compliance checks are not carried out in the future, Kim said. "I think the Select Board and [Hanover Police] Chief [Nicholas] Giaccone were very wise in taking this approach, but I also think that they're expecting a lot from us," Kim said, referring to the decision to delay implementation. Because the option of implementing alcohol compliance checks has already been seriously pursued, it will be difficult to take that option "off the table" in the future, Kim said. "This was an act of open-mindedness on the part of the Select Board and Chief Giaccone," Kim said.
