Hot Topic: Drug Testing on College Campuses

When is it OK to randomly drug test? I understand that employers should test their employees if need be, but randomly drug testing on college campuses, how is that fair to the students who are not chosen? When randomly choosing, etc. I think that sometimes people just get screwed. You have heard the stories of administrations hearing suspicions of drug usage and giving the option for students to come forward and turn themselves in, yet the ones who turn themselves in are always the ones who are dismissed, expelled, etc. It is a counter intuitive game that weeds out the weak. The administrations then make an example of those who confessed and then usually take no further measures because they have successfully scared everyone. As well, even if the administration did indeed want to test a whole group, I do not find it just for them to randomly choose, nor pick out a certain group of people who they suspect. That is just unfair targeting because of word of mouth rumors and then people get even angrier about the situation in the first place. If an administration wants to drug test anyone, I believe that they should do it fairly and do it to everyone involved. Drug Testing and Ethics
