Student shames president of dangerously drunk and disorderly Keene State College.

In the aftermath of the Pumpkin Riots, Keene State’s president says:

While she recognized students were involved she pointed out that this sort of behavior happens all over the country and many of the rioters involved “had no affiliation” with Keene State students.

Although it’s obviously not true that college riots so violent towns have to call out SWAT teams and national guard troops happen all over the country, the president of Keene has to say this, because she runs a business-model party school founded largely on the provision of liquor. She also runs a school so broadly notorious for alcohol and riots that its riots draw participants from all over the state — which allows her to point out, self-righteously, that not all the rioters were Keene State students…

A student in the audience at this public discussion stood up:

“Keene State was part of the problem,” said John LaFord. “No more of this, ‘we weren’t involved, ‘ or ‘it was other people,’ who did this. We did this. …We were part of the problem and it’s about time we recognize what we did, what we’re doing and what we are all going to do to fix it.”

This naive lad doesn’t understand how business-model party schools work. The president needs to take him aside and explain the school’s business plan.

You don’t fix Keene State. You keep running the drunks as long as you can get away with it.
