Yes. She is subject to the policy of school and its health and safety rules. If she gets a bill, she has to pay it. Your medical insurance may cover some of the cost.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney answers. The more important point is don't try to point the finger at the college. Point it where it belongs - at your daughters drinking behavior - which violates the policy and caused the ambulance bill. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
