There are some wonderful things about going to a top-notch public university like The University of Texas: cutting-edge research programs, renowned professors, and innovative scholarship. As I've learned time and time again over the past six and a half years at this university, however, there can be one burdensome downside as well: an incredible amount of needless and inefficient bureaucracy. As a result of this bureaucracy, the leaders of law school student organizations and journals have been required to work through safety training modules and attend this safety workshop. While I understand and appreciate the propriety of such measures for undergraduate student organizations, the modules and workshop were simply inapplicable to the workings of law school student organizations. Thus, I spent over an hour today in a room discussing what risks may be associated with requiring students to drink trash can punch made with Everclear while on a retreat. Unfortunately, this was simply a waste of my time and, less directly, my money.
