> It is normal, typical, common, and expected for universities in the United States to completely prohibit alcohol consumption on campus.

My question is: why does this article try so hard to make it seem like it’s not typical?

It's published by Bari Weiss, an ex-NYT reporter who leans Center-Right/Libertarian.

Not disagreeing with the content, but at the end of the day it's a blog like any other that has a slant like Vox or The Intercept or The Atlantic.

Because outrage has proven to be a viable business model
Because no one reads "normal" news?
