Eventually, like the hired tutors of the Jane Austen era, Noah becomes Tuscany’s full time teacher...

This need not mean a public declaration of intent to disregard federal laws—that would clearly be stupid—but rather internal communication that ensures consistency. As counselors like to tell us, “A problem shared is a problem halved” (or in this case, trisected): The College needs to arrange a good, long talk between its three drugs-related bodies...
