As the debate around alcohol consumption and policy continues here at Tufts, it is essential that the agenda, strategies and desired outcomes of the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate remain transparent to the student body. Transparency is needed to ensure that all students at Tufts feel confident that the Senate is representing their best interests and are comfortable contacting the Senate with their own opinions. With that in mind, the aim of this op-ed is to highlight the basic plan that the Senate, and specifically the Administration and Policy Committee, has developed to ensure Tufts' new direction on alcohol is both fair and effective.

Tufts' new alcohol policy sparked an immediate reaction across campus.

Now, however, the debate is moving beyond fault-finding and finger-pointing into the realm of solutions. TCU Senate has submitted a plan to the newly formed Alcohol Task Force enumerating steps to both lower the amount of alcohol consumption on campus and address the issue of students binge drinking to the point of needing medical care.
