This week, the University of California Santa Barbara's Daily Nexus gave an account of what happened to the younger Krom, and placed in the context of a wider problem at the school.
In the past 18 months, five UCSB students have died of alcohol or drug-related deaths, including Noah Krom. "I've never seen a year like that," Isla Vista foot patrol Lt. Olmstead told the Nexus, referring to the 08-09 school year.
"Only through the concerted efforts of all stakeholders -- the university, public policy leaders, public safety and those who profit by the student population such as property owners and those who run the bars and restaurants students patronize -- can a positive change in the UCSB/Isla Vista culture be advanced," Beth Krom said in an e-mail to the student newspaper.
