The college will make a good faith effort to maintain a drug-free workplace and campus, focusing primarily on prevention through education, early intervention, and providing referral services to employees and students with substance abuse problems. Illegal use of drugs or alcohol includes the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of any controlled substance.
Disciplinary actions play a secondary role to education, counseling and guidance.
Employees convicted of any violation of a criminal drug statute occurring in the workplace must notify the supervisor within five days after such conviction. The appropriate director will, within ten days, notify the federal funding agency when an employee is convicted of a drug-related crime. A drug or alcohol abuse prevention program will be accessible to any office, employee, or student at the college. Drug-free awareness training will be provided to college employees. Employees must, as a condition of employment, abide by the terms of this policy.
