College Drug Bust

I'm late posting about this drug bust, but I'm left to wonder some things.

1. Why doesn't there seem to be more public hand wringing over this? Is it because it's the beginning of the second quarter of dilly season known as the presidential election race?
2. Six fraternities and seventy-five students were involved in the drug bust. Just imagine that happening at an HBCU.
3. By the end of my first weekend at UVa, I found out which fraternities were known as the drug frats. I'll just say that those frats were included in this list.
   

   Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Alpha Mu and Theta Chi fraternities were suspended while the case on their involvement in the drug dealing is heard in court.

   My first year at UVa, I got to see the debauchery known as Easters. This article is WRONG when they state the mud bowl was ended at this time. And there was more than drinking going on. In fact, in 1986 or 1987, there was a drug bust at UVa that caused running back Barry Word to go to jail. But they still just scratched the surface.
4. I wonder what would happen if the police used resources to investigate drug use at major universities and colleges across the United States. Would there then be an outcry for "treatment" vs. "punishment"? Or, would it "just happen" with the current tweekers, i.e. meth users, getting treatment more so than jail time? (Read this, and this).
5. Does it matter that meth users are mainly white?

If there was a sting at every university with a student population greater than about 10,000 students, you could have a comparable number of arrests.
