Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program Notice


Federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Amendment Act (Public Law 101 - 226)

As a requirement of these regulations, Eastern Illinois University is to disseminate and ensure receipt of the below policy/information to all students, staff, and faculty on an annual basis. This is formally conducted through the PAWS/BANNER system. Questions concerning this policy and/or alcohol and other drug programs, interventions and policies may be directed to Dr. Eric S. Davidson at esdavidson@eiu.edu or 217/581-7786 or Mrs. Emma Noble, Assistant Director of EIU Health and Counseling Serivces, at eawelton@eiu.edu or 217-581-7786.

Polices - Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Weapons

As an academic community, Eastern Illinois University is committed to providing an environment in which learning and scholarship can flourish. The possession or use of illegal drugs, or the abuse of those which may otherwise be legally possessed, seriously affects the University environment, as well as the individual potential of our students and staff. The University enforces state laws and related University policies, including those prohibiting the following activities on campus:

  1. Providing alcoholic beverages to individuals under 21 or possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by individuals under 21.
  2. Distribution, possession, or use of illegal drugs or controlled substances.
  3. Possession of firearms or other dangerous weapons.

The abuse of alcohol and other drugs by students, regardless of age and of location (on-campus or off-campus), is prohibited by the Student Conduct Code. The University can, and will, impose disciplinary sanctions for violations. Students are also subject to city ordinances and state and federal laws. A separate policy addresses violations by University staff.

The University strongly encourages students and staff members to voluntarily obtain assistance for dependency or abuse problem before such behavior results in an arrest and/or disciplinary referral which might result in their separation from the institution.

The use of, or addiction to, alcohol, marijuana, or controlled substances is not considered an excuse for violations of the Student Conduct Code or staff expectations, and will not be a mitigating factor in the application of appropriate disciplinary sanctions for such violations.

Help is available both on campus and within the community for students and staff members who are dependent on, or who abuse the use of alcohol or other drugs. The University Counseling Center (217/581-3413), the Employee Assistance Program (1-866-659-3848), and other professional agencies will maintain the confidentiality of persons seeking help for personal dependency and will not report them to institutional or state authorities. The Health Service's Health Education Resource Center provides educational and awareness programming, information, and assistance.

Student Sanctions - Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Weapons

Underage students confronted by the institution for the consumption of alcohol will face disciplinary sanctions ranging from a University Reprimand, fines of up to $200, disciplinary probation or suspension.

Students whose use of alcohol or drugs results in harm or the threat of harm to themselves or others, or to property, regardless of the location of the incident, may face disciplinary action by the University up to and including expulsion. Testing for the presences of illegal substances may be a condition of any probationary status imposed by the University for violations of drug-related provisions of this policy. Testing for illegal drugs shall be performed using a urine sample collected with a chain-of-custody and will include testing for the following substances: cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, methamphetamines, and phencyclidines. All drug testing will include review by a qualified Medical Review Officer (MRO) and an "MRO Positive" result will be considered a positive result. Any student with a positive result, as described above, may face disciplinary action by the University up to and including expulsion.

Commonly Imposed Disciplinary Sanctions For On-Campus Policy Violations:

As members of the University community, students are also subject to city ordinances and to state and federal law. Arrest and prosecution for alleged violations of criminal law or city ordinances may result from the same incident for which the University imposes disciplinary sanctions.

Employee Sanctions

The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance by employees on University premises, or while conducting University business off University premises, is absolutely prohibited.

Violations of this prohibition by employees may result in the application of sanctions, including possible required participation in an approved drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program, and disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment under applicable Board of Trustees regulations, University policies, statues, employment contracts, or collective bargaining agreements.

Federal Drug Laws

The possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs, including any form or marijuana or cannabis, is prohibited by federal law. As per the Federal Drug Free Workplace Act, the Drug Free Schools and Campuses Act, until otherwise classified or scheduled, all forms of marijuana use, including medicinal marijuana, are to be considered illegal on all campus property, and during all official university sponsored events and activities. Strict penalties are enforced for drug convictions, including mandatory prison terms for many offenses. The following information, although not complete, is an overview of federal penalties for first convictions. All penalties are doubled for any subsequent drug conviction.

Denial of Federal Aid (20 USC 1091)

Under the Higher Education Act of 1998, students convicted under federal or state law for the sale or possession of drugs will have their federal financial aid eligibility suspended. This includes all federal grants, loans, federal work study programs, and more. Students convicted of drug possession will be ineligible for one year from the date of the conviction of the first offense, two years for the second offense, and indefinitely for the third offense. Students convicted of selling drugs will be ineligible for two years from the date of the first conviction, and indefinitely for the second offense. Those who lose eligibility can regain eligibility by successfully completing an approved drug rehabilitation program.

Forfeiture of Personal Property and Real Estate (21 USC 853)

Any person convicted of a federal drug offense punishable by more than one year in prison shall forfeit to the United States any personal or real property related to the violation, including houses, cars, and other personal belongings. A warrant of seizure is issued and property is seized at the time an individual is arrested on charges that may result in forfeiture.

Federal Drug Trafficking Penalties (21 USC 841)

Penalties for federal drug trafficking convictions vary according to the quantity of the controlled substance involved in the transaction. The following list is a sample of the range and severity of federal penalties imposed for first convictions. Penalties for subsequent convictions are twice as severe.

If death or serious bodily injury result from the use of a controlled substance which has been illegally distributed, the person convicted on federal charges of distributing the substance faces mandatory life sentence and fines ranging up to $8 million.

Persons convicted on federal charges of drug trafficking within 1,000 feet of a University (21 USC 845a) face penalties of prison terms and fines which are twice as high as the regular penalties for the offense, with a mandatory prison sentence of at least 1 year.

Interested individuals are encouraged to contact each agency for additional information regarding specific services and costs.
