Officials there have implemented a num- ber of efforts to combat underage and binge drinking, including a coalition focused on the issue and educa- tional programs. Loh But Loh — who has outgoing provost been actively involved in attempting to change the alcohol culture in Iowa City — said he has not yet talked to anyone at Maryland about high-risk drinking and has no current plans for the situation in Maryland. No offi- cials raised the issue during his “lis- tening and learning” tours around campus, he said. “I need to be informed as to whether there is a binge-drinking issue at [Maryland] and, if so, what is the scope and adverse effects of that problem on the safety, health, and academic success of students,” Loh wrote in an e-mail.
