Then, once they've seen it, pack up, erase the board, and go merrily on your way.<br /><br />But then, I have tenure.Clara from Clevelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16457206132910568140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-23599727484050888802013-10-21T00:29:16.604-04:002013-10-21T00:29:16.604-04:00I can't get replies to work, either.

Many thanks Froderick! <br /><br />I'd initially wondered about sending an email the next day, reminding the student that things said on Twitter may be seen by faculty. And that we all make choices, but some choices are better made on a Friday night as opposed to a Thursday night.

If there's no inappropriate behaviour, you've got no reason to intervene.<br />Also, don't fully discount the possibility that undergrads greatly overexaggerate how drunk they got last night, and how they're drunk the next day, in order to impress their peeps.
