This regulation is due to the College's recognition that too often common sources of alcohol contribute to irresponsible consumption and associated negative behaviors. Further, parties where money is collected or tickets are sold are prohibited. The use of funnels, taps, kegs, etc. will be confiscated. These items will not be returned to students. As a member of the Franklin Pierce College community, students reside in the state of New Hampshire, and therefore responsible for knowing and abiding by all the state laws.
State law forbids the possession of alcoholic beverages as a minor.
Students over 21 are subject to prosecution if they sell or give alcoholic beverages to a minor. For an average person, 0.02 BAC would be less than the equivalent of one beer or light drink. The Alcohol and Other Drugs Concerns Committee is assembled periodically to review these and other related regulations. The Alcohol and Other Drugs Committee recommends to the Vice President for Student Affairs the appropriate campus policies and programs. Incident reports from the Department of Campus Safety indicate if the incident is alcohol-related and are reported to the Director of Resident Life and Judicial Affairs.
