Due to the recent Brock Turner case that has turned into a monumental and influential occurrence, Stanford University has banned hard liquor from any on-campus parties.

Because Turner claimed that alcohol was part of the reason why he assaulted a now 23-year old woman in January of 2015.

Turner was recently sentenced to six months in jail.

Now, Stanford University has taken a stand, and has banned hard liquor on its campus in hopes that something like this will not happen again.

Stanford has instituted a container policy, which limits how many liters of alcohol a student 21-years or older can possess on campus.

This new policy "prohibits containers 750 mL and larger of distilled liquor, spirits and hard alcohol (alcohol by volume 20 percent and above or 40 proof) in undergraduate student residences, including rooms and common spaces."

Students who fail to comply with this new policy will have to report to the residential deans for administrative action and/or consequences.

While hard liquor has been banned, wine and beer are still allowed for students 21 and over.

Stanford is also not the first university to ban hard alcohol from on-campus parties, as Bowdoin, Bates, Colby, and Notre Dame have also implemented this policy.

Hopefully, with this new policy and the responsibility of students across America, alcohol will no longer be a factor or excuse for assault and rape cases.
