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:
- Alcoholic beverage laws pertaining to the
possession, consumption and sale of alcoholic beverages and penalties
thereof and other related laws. (Appendix A)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

drugs visit the Student Health Services website at: http://wwwsa.csuhayward.edu/~shsweb/alcoholrisks.shtml.

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.

appropriate controls can be satisfactorily established and maintained

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Publications protected by the
First Amendment are specifically exempted from the advertising
policy.
- Publications and printed materials
produced by campus units and campus recognized groups are subject
to the provisions of this policy.
- 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.
- 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.
- No product pictures are permitted.
- 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.

in any advertising or sponsorship form is strictly prohibited on the
University campus.
D. General Sponsorship and Naming Rights

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.
