Here's the clauses related to improvements in on-campus social life:

15. c. Change student conduct policies to assure that the environment for students to host social gatherings (including parties where alcohol is served) is at least as welcoming on campus as off campus in order to encourage students to initiate socializing on campus and/or to return to campus for late night socializing. Specific policy and practice changes will include:
i. Permit students of legal age living in apartments, townhouses, and other living spaces on campus to host parties in impromptu ways, eliminating the need to register parties well in advance.
ii. Train Residence Life staff and Department of Public Safety staff to manage student parties on campus in ways that allow those parties to continue whenever it is reasonable to do so (acknowledging that safety is still a primary concern), making it significantly more likely that on campus parties will be allowed to continue.
...
19. By Fall 2014, the University shall complete the New South Student Center, which will include an on-campus student pub and provide an appealing on-campus venue for late-night socializing.

20. By Fall 2012, the University shall bring food trucks to campus during late night hours, and, through the GCP, work with students and the community on other short-term measures to increase the attractiveness of on campus socializing.

21. Over the term of the Campus Plan, the University shall explore the feasibility of improvements to other on-campus facilities to promote student life on campus (i.e., green space for outdoor campus socializing, academic spaces such as libraries and study rooms, recreational and athletic facilities, student activity spaces, and other social gathering spaces).
