这什么世道！Penn State Says Wilderness Is Too Risky For Outdoors Clubs

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) – Penn State University says it has banned its near-century-old outdoor recreation club from going outside because it is too dangerous out in the wilderness.

The 98-year-old Penn State Outing Club announced last week that the university will no longer allow the club to organize outdoor, student-led trips starting next semester. The university’s offices of Student Affairs and Risk Management made the determination that the hiking, camping and other outdoors-focused activities the student-led club has long engaged in are too risky.

The Outing Club’s current president Richard Waltz tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the decision wasn’t an open dialogue and they weren’t briefed on the determination.

A Penn State spokeswoman says student safety is the school’s primary focus. Two other outdoor recreation clubs also have been directed to end trip offerings.

• 这类活动对孩子好，老师很费事，费心，感觉这年月，学校里认真考虑教育孩子这类正事的不多。学校都是为老师开的 -Narnar- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/23/2018 postreply 16:19:02

• 大学的club都是独立的，会有老师参合？其实即使是怕官司，也完全没有必要完全禁止，体育受伤那可是每天都发生的事。 -Francine- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/23/2018 postreply 16:25:25

• 想过了，如果自己去参加野外活动，那就是已经assumed the risk，怎么会指责学校。 -Francine- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/23/2018 postreply 17:15:41
