ALCOHOL, CANNABIS, OTHER DRUG, AND GOOD SAMARITAN POLICY
\n2025-2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

秘密研究所 is committed to providing a safe and healthy learning environment for all members and maximizes the academic and social development of students. The College believes that a student\u2019s development is negatively affected by the use of illegal drugs and the irresponsible consumption of alcohol and cannabis. All students have the right to engage in curricular and co-curricular activities without interference from others who are under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, and\/or other drugs. In addition, the unlawful and abusive use of alcohol and cannabis interferes with the College\u2019s goals aligned with teaching and learning. Substance use disorders may lead to criminal activity, property damage, and other risky behaviors. The purpose for the Alcohol, Cannabis, Other Drug and Good Samaritan Policy is to define and communicate, to all members of the College, acceptable and unacceptable behavior with regards to alcohol, cannabis, and\/or other drugs and the recommended sanctions for policy violations.<\/span><\/p>\n
