REGULATION ON ALCOHOL ABUSE
The illegal use or abuse of alcohol by students, visitors or employees is prohibited
on Carl Sandburg College property or activities. Behavior that is disruptive or
dangerous as a result of the consumption of alcohol will not be tolerated and such
behavior should be reported to the Vice President of Student Services.
If a student feels that they have a problem with alcohol, the College will assist in
a program that helps with this type of problem. Students with such a problem
should notify the Vice President of Student Services or a counselor.
Pending or subsequent to any legal penalties that could be imposed, the Vice
President may require participation in a recognized alcohol rehabilitation program
approved by the College.
If the student refuses, disciplinary action may be taken and could include:
1. A verbal warning
2. A written reprimand to employees
3. Suspension
4. Expulsion from school
Visitors using alcohol or who are intoxicated from alcohol will be prohibited from
using College facilities. If the student finds the disciplinary action unjustified, he/
she may elect to file a complaint according to existing complaint procedures in the
College catalog or College policy manual.
