Problem is, the folks at the CU Police Department made a mistake when compiling the figures, listing each criminal count as a separate arrest. But CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard - who lauds the student government's 4/20 resolution - suggests that this designation was based on flawed data.Īccording to Hilliard (a longtime friend of yours truly), Newsweek and the Daily Beast based their rankings in part on figures submitted by schools under the Clery Act, a 1990 law that requires institutions "to do things like issue a timely warning when there's a threat to public safety and requires us to provide crime statistics for a range of crimes, from burglary to sexual assault to drug arrests." ![]() Last week, in a post about the CU Boulder student legislative council passing a resolution to move the annual 4/20 event off campus, we noted that the university had topped a survey by Newsweek and the Daily Beast of the nation's druggiest colleges.
