I. Introduction

The California State University, Hayward 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, Hayward 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.

II. Philosophy

California State University, Hayward 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 Hayward 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 Hayward 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.

III. Laws & Regulations

Legal Requirements

California State University, Hayward'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. USC 20 Section 1011h. and 1011i. (Note: This replaced the Federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989.)

IIV. Alcohol & Other Drugs Risks and Resources

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.

Approval Procedures

The organization or individual sponsoring a campus event where alcohol will be served must first receive university approval for the proposed event.

Standards

1. When reviewing a request to serve alcohol at any university event, the vice presidents will carefully consider its appropriateness in a university setting. To determine appropriateness, the following factors will be considered: time of day, level of supervision, training of servers, conduct of business, high risk situations, audience (type of potential drinkers), length of event, and general safety factors.
   
   
2. The vice presidents will determine if appropriate controls can be satisfactorily established and maintained before permission is granted for the serving of alcohol on campus. Written permission to use alcoholic beverages shall be subject to the following restrictions:

   a. Attendance shall be limited to members of the sponsoring organizations and their invited guests.

   b. The event shall not be open to the public, and shall not be advertised or publicized to the university community as an event where alcoholic beverages are to be served.

e. Appropriate university forms must be completed and submitted within the appropriate time periods with all necessary attachments and confirmations including the approval of the Vice President, Student Affairs, and the Vice President, Administration and Business Affairs.

Liability

Sponsoring organizations and individuals should be cognizant of vicarious liability and the consequences to the organization should a vicarious liability suit be filed against the organization/individual when a person, regardless of age, attending an event and consuming alcoholic beverages is involved in an accident resulting in personal injury and/or death.

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.

VI. Marketing, Advertising & Endorsements

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.
   
   
2. When a donation is made to the University in support of a program, the name of the alcohol beverage manufacturer or distributor shall not be connected to the name of the event itself, but may be listed as a contributor to the event.
   
   
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. The consumption of beer, wine, or distilled spirits should not be the sole purpose of any activity.
   
   
4. University departments, registered student organizations, campus organizations or officially recognized University support groups who accept support from alcohol beverage manufacturers or distributors shall not distribute promotional clothing, specialty items, or other consumer items which utilize the University name, seal, or logo in combination with an alcoholic beverage trademark, logo, or company name, or which imply University endorsement of their product or company in any way, regardless of whether such promotional items are free or for sale.

B. Event Advertising

1. Advertisements for events which contain the name of an alcohol beverage manufacturer or distributor as a sponsor shall be approved prior to production by the appropriate University approving authority, and are permitted only in compliance with this policy.
   
   
2. If the name of an alcohol beverage manufacturer or distributor is printed as a sponsor, the alcoholic beverage trademark, logo, or company name must be subordinate to the message concerning the event itself. Subordinate is defined as not more than 15% of the total space of the advertisement, poster, or printed item.
   
   
   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.
      
      
3. No event where alcohol will be served may be advertised or offered to the public or University community as an event where alcohol beverages will be served. The use of symbols or pictures implying the presence of alcohol at an event is prohibited. 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.
   
   
6. Any advertising sponsored by an alcohol beverage manufacturer or distributor should carry a positive educational message and not imply that the alcohol is the main focus of the ad.

C. Policy on Advertising/Sponsorship of Illegal Drugs on Campus

The illegal use of drugs or drug paraphernalia in any advertising or sponsorship form is strictly prohibited on the University campus.

D. General Sponsorship and Naming Rights

1. University publications and educational programs may sell advertising for alcoholic beverages that meet the guidelines of Event Advertising in this policy.

Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Prevention Program

The California State University, Hayward 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 CSUH AOD Policy to students, parents, staff and faculty. The subcommittee is also responsible for training CSUH 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.

CSUH 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) 885-3733 for additional information on existing ATOD prevention activities.
