  2. The Attorney General has written: A state university campus is a "public place" and the school buildings located thereon are public buildings, so that the drinking of alcoholic beverages on the campus or in the buildings is a violation of law (See OAG 74-39).
  3. The Attorney General also has written: A dormitory room on a state university campus is not a "public place" within the definition found in KRS 525.010 (See OAG 87-11).
  4. The Attorney General has further written: It must be remembered that this opinion does not concern or affect the landlord tenant relationship between state universities and their student dormitory residents. As landlords, state universities continue to have the authority to include as a term of the dormitory room rental agreement a prohibition as to or restrictions on the consumption of alcoholic beverages within the premises leased, even though the student resident may be 21 years or older (OAG 87-11).
