Doing some further searching, I came across this article from August of 2011. It provides some details pertaining to Pitt's current amnesty policies.
Pitt Changes Alcohol Policy After Amnesty Bill Becomes Law
Our instructor also show me this next document. I think it shows some of general opinions of the University without going into every little detail. This is a document that could be useful to parents and incoming students alike.
Pitt Addresses Safety, Citations, and Underage Drinking
After reading through these documents, it appears that I will be shifting my project so I can advocate medical amnesty polices for the intoxicated student. I believe that even with the current policies (the person calling in the emergency can receive amnesty but not the intoxicated student), some may choose to not call because they don't want to get their friend in trouble. I will need to further develop this argument now but it is good to know that the University is willing to make changes to best suit its students.
