Alcohol-related crimes at the UI are up, according to a state Board of Regents report released Thursday.

The report is for the third quarter, which ended Sept. 30, and since the quarter that ended June 30, driving under the influence, drunkenness, and liquor-law violations have increased despite the university and community’s recent attempt to crack down on binge drinking.

Released as an agenda item for the Dec. 11 regents meeting, the report showed drunken-driving incidents increased from 37 to 45, drunkenness incidents from 80 to 124, and liquor-law violations from 15 to 19.
