# Controlled Substances Compliance

BYU-Idaho complies with drug-free and controlled substance laws with the CES Honor Code.

## Our Commitment to a Drug-Free Campus

All institutions of higher education that receive federal funds must take specific steps to prevent and address drug and alcohol abuse on their campuses among students and employees. Two statues that stipulate such measures are the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1986 and the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. These laws and subsequent amendments require that an institution of higher education adopt and implement a drug prevention program. Compliance with these acts is demonstrated at BYU-Idaho in the implementation and enforcement of the CES Honor Code.

# Governance and Ethics Compliance

BYU-Idaho is committed to promoting and maintaining ethical conduct and best practices in its management.

## Our Commitment to Governance and Ethics

BYU-Idaho's commitment to ethics and governance extends beyond the university's honor code and encompasses other legal requirements and best practices, such as corporate governance, conflict of interest management, the university's compliance hotline, and whistleblower protections.

## Institutional Governance

BYU-Idaho is operated as an independent entity within the Church Education System (CES). Other accredited institutions of higher education within CES include Brigham Young University located in Provo, Utah, BYU-Hawaii, in Laie, Hawaii, and Ensign College in Salt Lake City, Utah. Each entity is incorporated and operated independently and separately within CES with oversight by the Board of Trustees.

The Board of Trustees exercises broad-based oversight of all University activities. BYU-Idaho's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which were last amended in 2002, delineate the authority and responsibilities between and among the Board of Trustees and BYU-Idaho. The Board regularly reviews the University's mission, key institutional policies, academic and administrative structure, all major programs of study, and operating and capital outlay budgets. It provides an adequate and stable funding source over the years for the University's operation and growth.

The Board selects the University President and delegates to the President full responsibility to operate the university. In fulfilling this charge, the President counsels with the Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner of Church Education whose roles are defined as a standing advisory commission to the Board.

# Sexual Harassment Compliance

BYU-Idaho seeks to uphold all federal and state laws against sex discrimination and sexual harassment in its employment and educational programs.

Federal laws have long prohibited sex discrimination and sexual harassment in employment and education programs, but a growing concern over the high incidence of campus sexual assault has brought greater attention and regulation of sexual assault as a type of sexual harassment. In fact, compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 has been complicated by new laws and extensive and evolving regulatory guidance. The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 imposed new requirements for institutional policies and procedures related to responding to allegations of sexual assault and other sex-based crimes. Additionally, many colleges and universities are facing lawsuits and government investigations arising from allegations of indifference or inappropriate handling of complaints of sexual harassment.
