SEMO President Apologizes After Drinking from Beer Bong with Students at Football Game

Southeast Missouri State president Dr. Carlos Vargas has issued an apology for his behavior during SEMO’s football game last weekend.

Vargas figured it would be a good idea to drink from a beer bong with some SEMO students. Of course, everyone present had their phones out and the video quickly hit social media:

Vargas issued the following apology:

“Dear Colleagues and Students,

During my attendance at a tailgate prior to the Southeast football game on September 15, I was observed being offered and accepting to drink beer from a beer bong, a device normally associated with excessive or binge drinking, which is conduct I do not condone.
