University of Missouri deals with alcohol-related incidents

     (AP) – Documents obtained by the Columbia Daily Tribune show 16
students who drank at University of Missouri fraternities were taken to
hospitals for alcohol poisoning since August 2015.
     The Columbia Daily Tribune reports those incidents include cases reported to
the university police department or the Department of Student Life. Records show
six incidents involving an emergency medical response where a student didn't
have to be transported to a hospital.
     Several University of Missouri fraternities are under some form of punishment
for violations, including Sigma Phi Epsilon. The fraternity is on probation
after an underage female student woke up in a hospital after spending two hours
at an August party with an open bar.
     The Kappa Alpha and Sigma Pi fraternities are no longer recognized by the
university.
     Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Cathy Scroggs says safety at the school is
the top priority.
