Text of: 31749-HE-NonDis-O
Whereas The United Methodist Church has from its beginning over two hundred years ago expected abstinence from all alcoholic beverages by its members; and
Whereas a number of United Methodist colleges and universities have seen fit to ignore United Methodist teaching on this question, acting like secular schools; and
Whereas parents sending children to United Methodist schools have every right to expect the school to follow United Methodist teachings on moral issues; and
Whereas all of these schools have several United Methodist bishops on their board of trustees;
Therefore be it resolved that bishops on any board of trustees of any United Methodist-affiliated school of university insist that the college or university follow United Methodist teachings as regards to alcoholic beverages; that is, that no alcoholic beverage of any kind be possessed or consumed on school property or affiliated property such as fraternities, sororities or other leased or registered housing units with the violation of these rules being grounds for expulsion.
