[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 444335, member: 265"] I can only speak for myself: no and yes. No, I don't have any complaints about the 3 and out rule, at least as long as dope is illegal. That Tech decided to adopt it is a bog-standard normal decision and, given that Tech is a state institution and dope is, again, illegal, the only one to make. Yes, I do have doubts about the way the counseling was handled in Mill's case. It's like this. Suppose you ran an executive jet service and you found out that one of your pilots was drinking too much and not getting enough sleep. [I]But …[/I] he's the best pilot you have when he's on his game. Your company has a counseling program and you put him in it. The counselors, however, ignore the fact that the pilot's marriage is breaking up and his son is in jail; they give him the standard package instead and tell him he has two strikes left. Then your pilot crashes one of your planes, everybody is killed, and it turns out the pilot got 2 hours of sleep the night before. Ok, the plane crashed and people died because of the actions of the pilot. But who gets sued? Your company because you ignored the pilot's actual situation when you counseled him and that was a lack of due diligence. That even good counseling might have failed is beside the point; you didn't try to give it in the first place. I think that's how Tech handled Mills and I hope we learned a lesson from it. [/QUOTE]
