So far...it looks like he had 3 choices:
1) Set his kids up to be busted by the police. Tip the police on which dorm-rooms to raid. And keep his job.
2) Tell his kids to get rid of the evidence themselves. Wash his hands of it. And keep his job.
3) Do what he did. Intervene. Come down harsh on his kids. Confiscate the pills. Have them write papers, pouring their hearts out. Really have a heart-to-heart with them. Yell at them....all that....just like any caring parent would do. Tell the University and the police....but stop short of backstabbing his kids. But because he confiscated and had possession of the pills himself, he was in violation of University policy, which will probably cost him his job.
So to summarize, he sacrificed his job to do what he (and I) consider to be the right thing.
Lastly, let's not sensationalize this. This is 5 or 6 kids having 3 or 4 bottles of Xanax. A light party pill that costs $20 per bottle.
