The University will take disciplinary action against violators, consistent with Federal, State and local laws. Such action may include requiring satisfactory participation in a substance abuse treatment, counseling or education program as a condition of reinstatement or continuation with Harvard, suspension, and referral for prosecution. Because of the considerable health risks involved in drug and alcohol use, resources are available to assist the Harvard community in dealing with drug and alcohol abuse problems. The medical staff at UHS provides diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Call your primary care physician or nurse practitioner's office for an appointment.
