Tufts University officials are aghast [2] at an annual "Winter Bash [3]" event earlier this month that ended with up to 20 students so drunk paramedics were kept busy "trying to make sure you didn't die" and with large numbers of students who vomited and pissed all over the place - two of them right in the hotel lobby - and who just generally treated hotel and university staffers like shit.
Dean of Student Affairs Bruce Reitman adds:
There is strong consensus that the planning for any future event has to address the evidently widespread belief that Winter Bash is a time to get outrageously drunk and go to a classy Boston hotel. We have to do better.
More from Tufts [4].
Nate Fleming tweets [5] he happened to be riding the Red Line between Porter and Park Street with Tufts students headed to the event that night:
Was alarmed/amazed/impressed at how drunk they were for about 830pm.
This is the second black eye for Tufts students [6] this academic year.
