<p>My kid has a friend at a top lac who said that school security broke up an on campus party because they caught some kids smoking pot in a back room. Ok, sounds typical enough to me. But the friends are saying that the college informed them that all the kids at the party (even the ones in the front rooms who were presumably not smoking pot) would be getting letters sent home to their parents. Since these kids are legally adults, I didn't think colleges would contact parents over something like this. Is this common?</p>
