The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA), Public Law 101-226, requires that our University implements a program to prevent unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. In part, the law requires that all students and employees annually receive a description of University policies and possible sanctions for violation of drug or alcohol laws, possible health risks associated with use of drugs or alcohol, and counseling or rehabilitation services available to you. This is a critically important topic. Please take the opportunity to reflect on potential problems associated with drug use. In particular, consider the role of alcohol in our lives and its possible negative impacts.
The DFSCA Annual Notice can be viewed in its entirety at https://intranet.clarkson.edu/student-life/campus-safety/drug-free-schools-act/
