California State University East Bay Policy on Alcohol and Other Drugs

The California State University, East Bay Policy on Alcohol and Other Drugs serves the entire University community and provides clear, consistent and constructive guidelines for the responsible use of alcohol. These rules and regulations are consistent with the overall commitment to a comprehensive alcohol and other drugs education program by the California State University system. All individual campus organization policies shall be consistent with the University policy on alcohol and other drugs.

The Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy of California State University, East Bay governs the possession, use, and marketing of alcoholic beverages, and the use and possession of other drugs on campus or at University-sponsored events. "Other drugs" used in this document refers to controlled substances as defined in federal and state laws. This policy complies with local, state and federal laws and clarifies sanctions and procedures for addressing instances of illegal or inappropriate use of these substances. The University expects that students, faculty, staff, guests, off–campus contractors and sponsors of University events, both as individuals and organizations, will conduct themselves and operate within the scope of these laws and University policies and regulations.

This policy addresses the legal and responsible use of alcohol. It addresses the academic, health, personal and safety risks associated with alcohol and other drug use through education, services and resources that focus on prevention of alcohol and other drug abuse. Through wide dissemination of this policy, the University community will be informed of its contents, as required by the Drug-Free Workplace and Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act.

California State University, East Bay is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and healthy learning environment for all members of the campus community. In keeping with this commitment, the University prohibits the illegal use and/or abuse of alcohol and other drugs, intoxication, and any resulting misconduct.

CSU East Bay is dedicated to fostering personal and institutional excellence and strives to provide conditions under which the work of the University can move forward freely, with the highest standards of quality and integrity. Alcohol and other drug abuse contributes to personal health problems, diminishes the overall quality of campus life, and impairs our abilities to teach and learn. While the moderate consumption of alcohol may be an acceptable part of certain social activities, alcohol and other drug abuse conflicts significantly with the mission and values of the University.

The CSU East Bay Policy on Alcohol and Other Drugs recognizes federal, state and local laws regulating the possession, consumption, and service of alcoholic beverages and possession/use of other drugs. All students, faculty, staff and guests of the University community are required to abide by these laws as well as University–specific regulations. Those who violate such laws and University regulations regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs will be held accountable for their actions and subject to University sanctions and/or other legal consequences.

Legal Requirements

California State University, East Bay´s policy on alcohol and other drug use respects all legal requirements including, but not limited to:

1. Alcoholic beverage laws pertaining to the possession, consumption and sale of alcoholic beverages and penalties thereof and other related laws. (Appendix A)
2. Federal and California controlled substance laws (Appendix B), as well as other administrative regulations concerning drugs such as those contained in union contracts, California State University disciplinary codes, and personnel practices.
3. The Drug–Free Workplace Act of 1988 sets forth special requirements for employees on federal contracts and grants. It requires the University to provide notice of a conviction for a violation of any criminal drug statute occurring in the workplace by an employee engaged in the performance of work under federal contract or grant; and to report to the funding agency within ten calendar days after notice from an employee of a conviction for a violation of any drug statute occurring in the workplace, including while traveling or on other University business within and outside the United States. 41 USC Section 701..
4. California Drug Free Workplace Law. Employees or contractors of any state agency are prohibited from the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance as defined in the Controlled Substances Act (21 USC Sec. 812). The employer or contractor must publish a statement regarding the prohibition and any sanctions that will be imposed and establish a drug-free awareness program. Failure to comply may result in suspension of payments and termination of the contract or grant. California Government Code Sections 8350–8351.
5. Collegiate Initiative to Reduce Binge Drinking and Illegal Alcohol Consumption. No institution of higher education may receive any form of federal funding, including student loan programs, unless it adopts and implements a program to prevent the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students and employees. 20 USC Sections 1011h and 1011i.

There are many documented risks associated with alcohol and other drug abuse, affecting not only individuals, but also their families and friends. Alcohol and other drug abuse can lead to serious health and social problems, including short and long-term effects on the body and mind. Additionally, alcohol and other drug abuse can affect academic, athletic, work performance, and can lead to violent or destructive behaviors. There is also a strong relationship between alcohol and other drug abuse and risk of inappropriate sexual behaviors.

Organizations should also be aware of their exposure to legal risk when event sponsors permit the violation of laws concerning alcohol at their event. These laws include serving alcohol to minors or intoxicated individuals.

The advertising and promotion by co-sponsoring merchandisers of alcohol should focus on the event or activity being held, not on the products (Appendix F, definitions). The University President or his/her designee may make exceptions to this policy.

A. Event Sponsorship

Support of campus events by alcohol beverage manufacturers and distributors is permitted only within the following guidelines:

1. Sponsorship agreements shall be discussed and approved in advance by the appropriate campus approving authority. No sponsorship activities will be permitted without this approval. All corporate contributors shall conform to and comply with University policies and procedures.

3. Sponsors shall not provide alcoholic beverages as free incentive awards to individual students, campus organizations or departments. Principles of good hosting should be observed including availability of alternative beverages, food, and planned programs.

   1. Publications protected by the First Amendment are specifically exempted from the advertising policy.
   2. Publications and printed materials produced by campus units and campus recognized groups are subject to the provisions of this policy.

All event advertising targeted for the campus, and/or held on campus should conform to University policies and procedures and should avoid demeaning sexual or discriminatory portrayal of individuals or the University logo, seal, or mascot.
4. Event marketing and event advertising sponsored by alcohol beverage manufacturers or distributors should not encourage any form of alcohol abuse nor should it place emphasis on quantity or frequency of use. Advertising should not portray drinking as a solution to personal or academic problems or as necessary to social, sexual, athletic or academic success. In addition, advertisements may not associate alcohol with the performance of tasks that require skilled reactions, such as driving an automobile, or suggest that drinking is the sole purpose or dominant theme of an event.
5. No product pictures are permitted.

Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Prevention Program

The California State University, East Bay Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Advisory Council was established during Fall of 2001 in response to the Chancellor´s directive that CSU campuses provide special attention to the development of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs (ATOD) policies and prevention programs. The Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Advisory Council consists of thirteen members, including representation from the campus, students, staff, faculty and the community and is divided into five subcommittees: Policy, Assessment, Education & Prevention, Community/Treatment and Funding. The Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Advisory Council meets once per quarter and each subcommittee meets as often as needed to complete objectives and evaluate compliance with state and federal laws.

The Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Education & Prevention subcommittee is responsible for dissemination and communication of the CSUEB AOD Policy to students, parents, staff and faculty. The subcommittee is also responsible for training CSUEB staff on ATOD issues, providing educational programming and initiating a social norms campaign on campus. In addition, the university currently collaborates with local agencies in the community to further ATOD prevention and enforcement activities.

CSUEB participates in the following campus alcohol education/awareness activities:

• Fall Welcome Week
• Homecoming Week
• Spring Break
• "Soberfest" – Alcohol Awareness Day
• Alcohol Awareness Evening at the Residence Halls
• "Alcohol Jeopardy" at the Residence Halls
• Resident Advisor (RA) alcohol training
• Date rape programming

Contact the Health Promotions Department located in the Student Health Services at (510) 885–2356 for additional information on existing ATOD prevention activities.
