14.Among my experiences as a college president is the all-too-frequent phone call in the night that begins:"One of your students is in the emergency room with alcohol poisoning." The whole country got a similar wake-up call in June when it was reported that alcohol abuse on college campuses is on the rise,especially for women,and that college students drink far more than nonstudents.One statistic showed that college students spend more money on alcohol while in college than on books.Alcohol abuse,although tragic,is but one symptom of a larger campus crisis.A generation has come to college quite fragile,not very secure about who it is,fearful of its lack of identity and without confidence in its future.Many students are ashamed of themselves and afraid of relationships.
Students use alcohol as an escape.It's used as an excuse for bad behavior:the insanity defense writ large on campus.This diminished sense of self has caused a growth in racism,sexism,attempted suicide,theft,property-damage and cheating on most campuses.
This is not the stuff of most presidents' public conversations.Nor can it be explained away as an "underclass" problem; it is found on our most privileged campuses.It is happening because the generation now entering college has experienced few authentic connections with adults in its lifetime.I call this the "Culture of Neglect," and we—parents,teachers,professors and administrators—are the primary architects.
It begins at home,where social and economic factors—such as declining incomes requiring longer work hours—result in less family time.Young people have been allowed to or must take part-time jobs rather than spending time in school,on homework or with their families.More children and youths are being reared in a vacuum,with television as their only supervisor,and there is little expectation that they learn personal responsibility.Immersed in themselves,they are left to their peers.

我担任大学校长期间的经历就是经常会在半夜接到一些电话,这些电话的所有开头语都是“你有一个学生因为酒精中毒送进了急诊室.”甚至我们整个国家在每年六月的夜晚都会被这样一个类似的电话吵醒.据报道,校园酗酒事件正在上升,特别是女大学生,而且大学生酗酒的要远远超过非大学生.一项统计显示：大学生花在酗酒上的钱要远远超过书本.诚然酗酒是一悲剧,但是更糟的是它是校园危机的一个象征.它显示大学在读的这一代是何等脆弱,对自己充当的角色缺乏安全感,害怕身份缺失,对未来缺乏信心.很多学生羞于启齿谈论自己（把自己遮盖起来）害怕与人沟通,建立关系.
学生们借酒逃避现实,并以此为借口为其在校园内的疯狂的不良举止做最大限度的辩解.自我约束能力降低直接导致种族歧视、性别歧视滋长.自杀倾向、偷盗、损坏公物、欺诈充斥着大部分校园.
这些既不应是大部分大学校长谈论的公共话题,也不应是以一个“课后”就能解释通的问题.从中我们可以发现更多的校园特权.它的发生是因为这一代在读的大学生道德的丧失.这与他们生活中所接触的成年人息息相关.我称之为“文化过失”.实际上,我们---家长、教师、教授、及专家都是学生最初的道德楷模.
从家庭开始,家庭是社会和经济的缩影.比如家庭收入降低迫使劳动时间延长其结果导致和家人共享的时间缩短,年青人已经在做或必须做零工的时间远远超过上学时间、做作业时间及陪伴家人时间.很多少年儿童被迫活在真空中,电视成为他们的唯一向导.他们根本不希望学会自律,他们沉溺自我,远离同类.
