Policies and Programs on Drug Misuse in Colleges and Universities in New York City
Abstract
Colleges and universities have been centers for advancing the knowledge of man and for propagation of this knowledge. These institutions of higher education have had to address themselves not only to law, philosophy, art the pure sciences but also to the social sciences.Colleges and universities have been expected to address themselves to the entire spectrum of societal ills. Consequently, as Barzun (1968) explained "the School of Social Work aids the poor, the School of Architecture redesigns the slum,...the School of Law gives legal aid, and the undergraduate college supplies volunteers to hospitals, recreation centers and remedial schools" (p.10). Through these efforts, colleges and universities have assisted in bringing into equilibrium the forces at work on society. But as Litterer (1969) pointed out, institutions have had to maintain their own equilibrium as well.
