10. Standards of Conduct

Students:
The Southwestern Oregon Community College Students Right and Responsibilities document defines the following behaviors as violations of the standards of student conduct: “The possession of alcoholic beverages or controlled substances on the College campus or any other facility that is rented, leased, owned, or occupied by the College at any time when classes or student activities are scheduled.” Sanctions may be imposed on students for violations of the code.

Employees:
In compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989 (Public Law 101-226), Southwestern Oregon Community College’s administrative policy #5.008 (Prevention of Alcohol and Abuse) defines the employment conditions with respect to controlled substances. In addition, it is the policy of Southwestern Oregon Community College to maintain an alcohol-free workplace for all employees of the District. The possession or distribution of alcohol or an illegally possessed controlled substance, is strictly prohibited at Southwestern Oregon Community College except where specifically authorized by the Board of Education.

The sanctions pertaining to illegally possessed controlled substances in the workplace are also described in 5.008. For alcohol abuse, the College will impose sanctions and/or require satisfactory completion of an alcohol abuse assistance or rehabilitation program. Sanctions imposed may include disciplinary probation (the suspension of a more severe penalty for a specific time period, based upon good behavior), suspension (the temporary barring from employment for a specific time period, without pay), and/or termination (to sever employment with the College).
