All employees must take classes outside their normal work schedule. An exception may be made for degree candidates upon approval by the supervisor, Vice President, and Director of Human Resources. All divisions and sections of the College are included within this program. Alcohol and illicit drugs are toxic substances that affect the mind, body and spirit. Alcohol-related problems include deaths from drunk driving, use of violence, and poor judgment in personal relationship situations.
Drug abuse is dangerous and can lead to death.
An overdose can cause psychosis, convulsions, coma and death. Continuous use of drugs can lead to organic damage, mental illness and malnutrition. It increases the risk of AIDS, hepatitis and other diseases related to injectable drugs. We realize that our employees are not immune to the problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse in our society. To help contend with such problems, and to prevent drug or alcohol use that adversely affects job performance and safety, the College has developed a substance abuse policy.
