The president made a good decision and conducted a survey of 90 random students from the outgoing graduating class and asked the students three questions: While attending Rocky University did you ever participate in binge drinking, abuse prescription medication, or ever use illegal or illicit drugs. The results of the survey showed that there was indeed a fairly large issue where over half of the student population .5222 or 52.2% had indeed answered yes to one of the previously shown questions. One survey showed that the college substance abuse percentage was at 46% (CSU-Global, 2015) and yet another survey showed 80% of college students abused alcohol (Smith, 2015); an even more alarming statistic showing between 1993 and 2005, the proportion of students who abused tranquilizers such as Xanex and Vallium had increased by 450% (Smith, 2015). Although the statistics at Rocky University showed a higher percentage of students who were willing to say they had abused substances during their time at Rocky University, it was only by a small margin that the university was above national average. With that said there is still a problem of substance abuse and what should the University do about it? One option would be to provide students with programs related to drug and alcohol abuse to raise awareness about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. The key is to have programs that
