[Eoscstudents] Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention

[Bryan Denny]

Greetings Mountaineers,

Eastern Oklahoma State College recognizes its responsibility as an
educational and public service institution to promote a productive and
healthy environment. This responsibility demands implementation of programs
and services to facilitate that effort.  The college is committed to a
program to prevent the abuse of alcohol and the illegal use of drugs and
alcohol by its students and employees. Eastern prohibits the illegal use of
drugs and alcohol in the workplace, on college property, in college
housing, or as part of any college-sponsored activities.


In order to meet these responsibilities, Eastern Oklahoma State College:



·         Requires all students and employees to abide by the terms of this
policy as a condition of an initial and continued enrollment or employment.

·         Recognizes that the illegal use of drugs and alcohol is in direct
violation of local, state and federal laws as well as college policies set
forth within this policy, the staff and faculty handbooks, and the Student
Code of Conduct. College policy strictly prohibits the illegal use,
possession, manufacture, dispensing, or distribution of alcohol, drugs or
controlled sub- stances in the workplace, on its premises, or as a part of
any university-sponsored activities.

·         Considers a violation of this policy to be a major offense, which
can result in requirement for satisfactory participation in a drug or
alcohol rehabilitation program, referral for criminal prosecution, and/or
immediate disciplinary action up to and including termination from
employment and suspension or expulsion from the college. A criminal
conviction is not required for sanctions to be imposed upon an employee or
student for violations of this policy.

·         Recognizes that violations of applicable local, state and federal
laws may subject a student or employee to a variety of legal sanctions
including but not limited to fines, incarceration, imprisonment and/or
community service requirements. Convictions become a part of an
individual’s criminal record and may prohibit certain career and
professional opportunities.  Requires an employee to notify his or her
supervisor in writing of a criminal conviction for drug or alcohol related
offenses occurring in the workplace no later than five calendar days
following the conviction. Forbids an employee from performing sensitive
safety functions while a prohibited drug(s) is in his or her system.
