Subject: This Is How We Do

I received your sentiments about the campus security situation and I understand that you are disgusted. All complaints are taken seriously and your problem is being addressed. Although the 'Winonan'depicts my institution as an aura of proliferating alcoholics, that isn't the case. It's a fallacy. You clearly stated in your letter that three out of ten students were hardcore drunkards. Yes, this may be partially true but you should know that when I joined this institution a year ago, the numbers were on the roof -- six out of ten students. What you are witnessing now is a fifty percent drop in alcohol consumption which is a commendable achievement on our side.

Secondly, the 'Winonan' has a lot of credibility issues. They have been put on the spot many times for publishing malicious articles. Therefore, using them as a source to base your argument is unjust to us. Lastly, to curb alcohol consumption, we have formed a group, 'Scholars Against Alcohol' which helps in advocating against alcohol abuse and provides counseling to recovering alcoholics.

I know you may still be dissatisfied with my ways and efforts of controlling the situation but my conscience is clear with what I have done. It's now up to you to watch and wait because I believe I am speaking for the entire WSU community when I say This is How We Do It!

Best,

Dr. Ramaley.
