I was glad to receive a response from Governor McDonnell to my letters. I appreciated Mr. Robinson's discussion on the limits and structure of authority of JMU and the Governor. The JMU Board of Visitors is appointed by the Governor and that is one of the more direct ways for the Governor to intercede in decisions about the governance system at JMU. Mr. Robinson suggest that the safety risk of a negative alcohol culture could be a topic for the agenda of the 2011 Governor's Campus Preparedness Conference. I will send a follow up letter to encourage this as an agenda item.
JMU Negative Alcohol Culture blog is looking at what can JMU do to change the culture at JMU. The literature on college alcohol issues and JMU reports, data and policies are reviewed and an invitation is issued to JMU to establish an Independent Alcohol Commission to examine JMU policies and change them in ways that will have a real impact on the JMU Negative Alcohol Culture.
