I'm sure many schools use this line of professionals / amateurs but I'm fairly certain I heard this line years ago regarding URI.

That said I believe I went to the all time champ High School Party school, being just 15 minutes from 2nd largest beerfest in world, few hours from largest, and just general international incident level (often legally) partying.

Just saying.

That refered to a playboy article in the mid90's regarding URI not being on the top of the list.. "We on't put pro's w/ amatures" which lead to the crackdowns at URI

Every school, practically. I first heard it about Lehigh. I checked out snopes and apparently the line was "If your school wasn't listed, it is probably because we didn't include professionals." It was not said about any one school.

Also, $250,000 is alot of dough for a police chief. I did a quick check and it looks like 150,000 is about typical for large university areas.

this next one is pretty good, too.
CLARKSTOWN, N.Y. (CBS 2) – The salary of a Rockland County police chief is drawing a great deal of attention from members of his community.

According to a new report, Clarkstown Police Chief Peter Noonan is the highest paid municipal employee in New York State — earning just over $301,000 last year.
