Erin Cox went to a party to pick up a friend who was too drunk to drive , according to reports . Cox 's school charged she violated its zero-tolerance policy against drug and alcohol use . In the case of a teen recently punished by her school for trying to drive a drunk friend home , I find myself firmly siding with the girl and her parents -- and wondering what on Earth Cox was demoted as captain of the volleyball team and suspended for five games . The university said it would not comment on specific cases but that " any student found responsible will be held accountable under our code of conduct policy."
