The Hatchet’s editorial board criticizes the University for concluding a full review of alcohol policy while the position of director of the Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Education has remained vacant for 18 months.
With as comprehensive a review as the University said it completed, we would expect there to be a director of the University’s Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Education – or at least one to have been appointed at the conclusion of such a study. But since the promotion of CADE’s former director more than a year ago, the office has operated without a formal head. It is reprehensible that after an alcohol-related death on campus and a supposedly comprehensive review of policy, GW still has not appointed even an official interim director.
Great article. I think Katie Bean should be promoted to Director. I know for a fact she works very hard and puts in a lot of extra hours that she isn’t asked to put in. She does it for the greater good of the office, for the students, and for the University.
