The possession or consumption of narcotics, liquors, beers or wines on or in college property; or appearing on or in college property under the influence of narcotics, liquors, beers or wines; or giving the appearance of being under the influence of narcotics, liquors, beers or wines in any degree whatsoever shall render an employee or student subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal. Giving the appearance may include, but not be limited to, slurred speech, glassy eyes, smell of liquor, beer or wine, poor eye-hand coordination, poor muscle coordination (staggering) and confusion or failure to comprehend instructions.

These rules cover areas of major concern in the all-College safety program and will be changed as conditions warrant.
