Dude, Only Grownups die: Bioethical Considerations of in Loco Parentis on College Campuses‪.‬

ABSTRACT One of the many structures of our society shattered in the late 1960s was the matter of "in loco parentis" on many college campuses. The college could no longer act as parent to the student, a change brought about by claims of adult hood, personal freedom, and several summers of love. Regardless of how effective these old strictures may have been, the willingness of college students to assume responsibility for their personal, communal, or supervisory behavior has never been impressive as the current proliferation of cautionary websites attests. The current dangers of dwelling in densely populated areas such as dorms and apartment complexes have not been higher since the rampages of tuberculosis at the birth of the industrial revolution.
