Alcohol

The University’s alcohol policies and procedures are designed to promote responsible decision-making and appropriate behavior regarding the use of alcohol. The University expects all community members to be respectful of the rights of others to facilitate a healthy and safe educational, professional, and residential community where alcohol does not interfere with individual performance, personal success, public safety, or the integrity of the learning environment.

Employees must not be under the influence of alcohol or have alcohol impair their ability to perform duties while at work or performing duties for the University. In addition, restrictions apply to the use of University funds to purchase alcohol and the hosting of University-sponsored events with alcohol.

The University complies with state and federal laws regarding the use, distribution, and consumption of alcohol, including the federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act and the Drug-Free Workplace Act.
