Purdue reminds sTudenTs To "make The CaLL" A Brief History of the University's Medical Amnesty Policy L ast year, the presidents of Purdue's Greek student councils published a report on the "Path Moving Forward" for Greek life in West Lafayette. Among the recommendations and expectations for fraternities, sororities, and cooperative houses on campus was a reminder of three important words: "MAKE THE CALL." This simple but important phrase refers to Purdue University's policy of medical amnesty, which is offered to both students who call for medical attention and the students receiving treatment. The policy, which applies to ALL community organizations (not just Greek life), was adapted from the Indiana Lifeline Law, which offers similar legal protections to individuals who identify themselves to, and cooperate with, law enforcement while seeking medical help for alcohol-related health emergencies. If a student organization is believed to be involved in such incidents, "Making the Call" will serve as a mitigating circumstance when it comes to disciplinary action. In 2012, Purdue students and staff published a video explaining the "Make the Call" policy, identifying signs of alcohol poisoning, and encouraging students to reach out in such a situation. The video was made in response to troubling data showing that students would previously respond to alcohol poisoning by simply monitoring a passed-out student—during which time a person's blood alcohol concentration can keep rising—and stressed the importance of prompt medical attention. In the wake of high-profile tragedies such as those at Penn State and Florida State, it is crucial that students, faculty, and alumni urge responsible practices, and that everyone feels safe to seek help should an emergency arise. Your safety is what's most important, so please, if you need help, Make the Call!
