Travel and Off Campus Activities
In enforcing this policy, the following guidelines will be followed:
The procurement of alcoholic beverages for minors is not only a violation of state law; it is an act which may create significant personal liability for a student and his/her parents if the minor is injured or injures another person while under the influence of alcoholic beverages. Because of the serious consequences which can result from such behavior, the University will take action against students involved in procuring alcoholic beverages for minors. Procuring is treated in the same fashion as repeat violations of the Alcohol & Drugs policy and will automatically be referred to the Student Conduct Board.
Nebraska law makes it illegal to sell, furnish, give away, exchange, deliver, or permit the sale, gift, or procuring of any alcoholic liquors to or for any minor. (§ 53-180) Violation of this law is generally punishable by not more than a 1-year imprisonment or a $1,000 fine or both. (§ 53- 180.05(1) and § 28-106(1)) However, if alcohol is knowingly and intentionally provided to a minor and the minor’s consumption of the alcohol or impaired condition leads to the serious bodily injury or death of any person, the person who provided the alcohol is guilty of a Class IIIA felony, which includes a mandatory minimum of at least 30 days’ imprisonment. The penalty for a Class IIIA felony is a 3-year imprisonment and 18-month post release supervision or a $10,000 fine or both and a minimum of a 9-month post-release supervision if imprisonment is imposed. (§ 53-180.05(2) and § 28-105(1))

The law also provides for an enhanced penalty for anyone 18 or older who employs, uses, induces, or coerces any person under age 18 to commit any act which violates the UCSA. (§ 28-416(4) and (5))
Persons under the age of 18 who violate the drug laws may also be subject to sentencing provisions which include impounding driver's licenses or permits, completion of community service and attending drug education classes. (§ 28-416(4))
