    Yay, liability! I imagine they could reorganize as private clubs and just not have the university's stamp of approval. I wonder if they lose funds or whatnot. Anyway, bummer.

      You have to wonder just how we survived for so many millennia.

        Can't the university have a better personal liability waver or something?

          Maybe they can start a VR outdoor club where they all sit around in a nice padded room wearing VR glasses staring at Google Earth.

            As far as I can tell, the issues are that 1) the trips are currently student-led and 2) students were taking alcohol on the trips. It seems that the university would rather have professionals lead the trips and ban alcohol on them. It doesn't sound like the university thinks the trips are too dangerous to continue.

                As I always say, it's impossible to tell the difference between satire, and sincere liberalism. This thread is a perfect example.

                    Dunno what this is supposed to have to do with "progressives". It's just lawyers worrying about liability.

                    I suggest banning lawyers.

                    Or, at least making laws like we have in my progressive country that prohibit lawsuits over such things. (There's a government-run national insurance scheme that simply pays out money to the injured and nearly all lawsuits against at-fault parties are banned). Then people can go do dangerous things to their hearts content without worrying about lawsuits.

                    "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

                      Forcing the tax payers to pay for other people's injuries is exactly the sort of stupidity I'd expect from a progressive government.

                      But I appreciate that it's called a "scheme" when you consider the negative connotations of that word.
