There was a general cultural shift during the time I was at UofC where BSD was viewed more as a day-only kind of festival that was generally confined to a single area in the centre of campus to a larger, more social event that went all day. More off-campus drinking before and after the event lead to more anti-social behaviour, like loosened social restrictions on sexual activity, violence, and vomiting in public. It got a lot less fun.
I would be interested to see what the overall statistics for sexual assault, assault, and public health issues associated with BSD.
