What happened is totally shocking... We are afraid of people, being robbed or shot... but this is the third SMU student found dead this year and we are sure that there are drugs involved at least about two of them. In other words we SMU students kill ourselves: the number one cause of death is drugs. How many beautiful, nice, skinny students like Meaghan are involved in such awful situation? We should find them! It is time for SMU authorities to clean up the campus and set some zero tolerance for this kind of stuff, not simply kicking out students that are caught doing drugs, but giving a real effort on finding why they do it, and giving them tons of good reasons for not doing it,and , of course, contacting the families and commanding a very close collaboration. What a gloomy news... All my prayers to Meaghan, her family and for all the people who are killing themselves for escaping escaping... for they can redeem themselves before it's too late.

This should not be recognize as the "typical SMU", it is really sad if it is this way. SMU should be an healthy place, not an environment where rich kids mess up themselves. We need to give alternatives to these people!!

zero tolerance has never worked anywhere for anything.

People, rich or not, make the decision to "mess themselves up" on their own. College students are not kids. Taking drugs does not mean you are destined to end up dead in a ditch. Every step along that path is a conscious decision somebody has made. Stigmatizing any and all drug use is only going to make this sort of story more common. Most people have friends and family they can go to for help and most universities already provide counselors, hotlines, and other resources. The school or community cannot force people to use them. I don't know the whole story but you can't just immediately lay the blame at the feet of SMU.

It is not the zero tolerance of kicking out-putting to jail etc what I meant. What I mean is that it is not a good reputation for SMU to have people DIED for drug problems in a year; there should be more controls and more information. I do not mean to blame SMU for what happened, the problem is in the students and SMU should recognize it and do something.

As a parent of two college-aged kids, and a former attendee at SMU, I think that the current rash of deaths should be examined in the wake of suspected drug usage in at least two of the deaths. I would like SMU to be proactive in trying to offer more help, peer-counseling and alternatives to the drinking and drugging that has been a part of the atmosphere at SMU at least since I was there in the 70's. Christ knows SMU pulls in enough money to help kids out more than the current laissez-faire attituded seems to be.

Interesting profile in the Dallas Morning News today of Meaghan and her family: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedconte...

The article reads like a How Not To Guide To Parenting. Amazing stuff. Also, as an added bonus, there is some not-so-flattering info about SMU campus life and the school's drug culture.
