Policy 1126 - Drug Free Environment

Policy 1126 �� Drug-Free Environment

桂

The College is committed to protecting the safety, health and wellbeing of all employees, students and visitors in the educational and work environment. We recognize that alcohol abuse and drug use pose a significant threat to our goals. Therefore, we have established a drug-free program that balances our respect for individuals with the need to maintain an alcohol and drug-free environment.

桂

Standards of Conduct

In compliance with the Federal Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-690) and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-226), the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance or abuse of alcohol (as defined in these Acts) by a student, employee or visitor on college property and/or at a college event or activity is prohibited unless its use is in accordance with , or as allowed by law by 911괵죕�셲 housing staff within their private residences. Furthermore, it is prohibited for an employee to come to work under the influence of a controlled substance or alcohol.桂 In addition, smoking and smokeless tobacco are prohibited in college facilities and college vehicles. (See for more information.)

桂

Legal Sanctions

Federal and state laws prohibit the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol. Conviction for violating these laws can lead to imprisonment, fine, probation, and/or assigned community service.

桂

Assistance Programs

The College recognizes that alcohol and drug abuse and addiction are treatable illnesses. We also realize that early intervention and support improve the success of rehabilitation. To support our employees and students, our drug-free policy:

Encourages employees and students to utilize the services of qualified professionals in the community to assess the seriousness of suspected drug or alcohol problems and identify appropriate sources of help.
Allows employees the use of eligible accrued leave while seeking treatment for alcohol and other drug problems.

Treatment for alcoholism and/or other drug use disorders may be covered under employee and student health plans. However, the ultimate financial responsibility for recommended treatment belongs to the employee or student. (See for more information.)

桂

Confidentiality

All information received by the College through the drug-free program is confidential communication. Access to this information is limited to those who have a legitimate need to know in compliance with relevant laws and College policies.

桂

Attendance/Employment Conditions/Disciplinary Sanctions

Students, employees, and visitors must abide by the terms of this policy or be subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion or termination of employment as may be provided in the procedure or the procedure.

Students receiving performance awards or athletic scholarships may be subject to random drug screening and/or testing in order to assure compliance with these Acts and College policy.
The College reserves the right to test employees for a controlled substance or abuse of alcohol with reasonable suspicion of cause to assure compliance with these Acts and College policy.
Employees must notify the College of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days after such conviction. Such notice shall be provided in writing by the employee to the Director of Human Resources.

The College provides Worker's Compensation Insurance for all employees as required by law. The College also purchases general liability insurance for incidents/accidents involving students and visitors.

Policy 1131 - Personal Relationships

The College prohibits dating, sexual or intimate relationships between employees who can exercise power or control over another employee, students and/or student employees, unless they are legally married. College employees who do not adhere to this policy are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Personal Relationships Guidelines

Employees who are aware of employee/employee or employee/student relationships that are in violation of this policy must notify Human Resources immediately.

Employee/Employee Relationships

Unless they are legally married, a dating, intimate, or sexual relationship between a college employee who can exercise power or control over the other employee is prohibited. People in positions of authority who abuse or appear to abuse their power cause severe damage to the college.

Employee/Student Relationships

Unless legally married, dating, intimate or sexual relationships between a student and any college employee who can exercise power or control over that student is prohibited. Many employees of the college exercise various types of control or power over students. This power can be in the form of praise, criticism, disciplinary action and evaluation, financial aid, playing time for athletes, recommendations for employment or further education, or bestowing any other benefit on them. Such relationships, even though apparently consensual, create inherent conflicts of interest, tend to be exploitive in nature, and call into question the judgment and professionalism of the college employee. These relationships greatly increase the chances that the employee in the position of power will abuse that power or appear to abuse it to exploit the student or favor that student, unfairly placing other students at a disadvantage.
