UK Alcohol Policy Considered

{Lexington, Kentucky}...University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto says he willing to look at the school's policy on alcohol usage as leaders plan for future growth. Under the current policy adopted in 1998, alcohol is banned on campus. A recent study commissioned by the city found that during the past two decades, neighborhoods such as Montclair have seen the percentage of rental housing spike from about 10 percent to 50 percent, while those even closer to UK, such as Aylesford and Columbia Heights, have rates closer to 80 percent and 90 percent. Capilouto says it's not just a matter of whether or not to allow alcohol on campus, it's advocating that all students use alcohol responsibly.
