While I agree that the judge never should have found any negligence on the part of the school based upon the information provided in this article, I am concerned with the extent of non-profit protections cited by the appellate court.
What IF the school WAS negligent? If the school had sanctioned the party, and the liquor was provided by the RA and someone else’s child died, would/should the school be held liable? If a sober student fell out of the window due to poor maintenance and upkeep of the building, does this “protection” mean that the school does not have to be accountable for that?

I agree with all.
However I’m sure he didn’t jump out of the window. He probably leaned out to puke and fell.
It’s sad but not the schools fault.
This is a sage appellate decision. Hopefully, it will lay the further basis for the legal theory of “stupid is as stupid does”.
