The Drug-free Schools
and Campuses Act of 1989 requires an institution of higher education to certify
that it has adopted and implemented a program to prevent the unlawful
possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and
employees. The following describes the Act's provisions.
As a part of its drug

standards of conduct that clearly prohibit the unlawful
possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on its property or
as part of any of its activities;
-
a description of applicable local, state or federal legal
sanctions pertaining to the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit
drugs and alcohol;
-
a description of health risks associated with the use of illicit
drugs and the abuse of alcohol;
-
a description of available drug and alcohol counseling,
treatment, rehabilitation and re-entry programs; and
-
a clear statement of the disciplinary sanctions that the
University will impose on students and employees who violate the standards of
conduct.
The University will
conduct regular reviews of its drug prevention program to determine its
effectiveness, implement needed changes and ensure that disciplinary sanctions
are consistently enforced.
