Each semester the Division of Student Services sponsors workshops and student forums to provide educational information about sexual offenses. These programs include procedures to be followed in the event of an assault. The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 requires the college to annually distribute, in writing, to each student, information concerning the use of alcohol and illicit drugs. Students are subject to the jurisdiction of the college on college matters during their period of enrollment, and the college reserves the right to take disciplinary action against those students who, in the opinion of the college, have not acted in the best interest of the students or the college. The use of alcohol or illegal drugs is strictly prohibited on college property.
Students have the right to due process.
All state and local and federal laws pertaining to controlled substances and alcohol abuse are enforced on campus. State and local sanctions for alcohol abuse vary according to the offense. The use of alcohol and other drugs have many adverse effects on the body. Initially, alcohol causes an increase in heart rate, then momentarily causes depression of the central nervous system. This depression leads to a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate.
