UC targets alcohol abuse on university campuses

The University of California and California Gov. Gray Davis recently signed an agreement aimed at preventing alcohol abuse in UC campus communities.

The memorandum of understanding brings together UC and the state Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, Alcoholic Beverage Control, Alcohol and Drug programs, California Highway Patrol, Department of Motor Vehicles and Office of Traffic Safety.

"We are very pleased to be taking part in this collaboration with the Davis administration," said UC President Richard C. Atkinson. "This partnership will build upon our existing prevention and education programs, bringing the expertise of many agencies to bear on a problem that can have a serious impact on the health and academic success of a college student."
