Athletics Policies: Alcohol and Other Drugs The Department of Athletics expects all student-athletes to make responsible and educated decisions regarding the use of alcohol and drugs. Individuals involved with illegal drugs are subject to dismissal from their team after an investigation into the matter, in addition to other sanctions permissible under the Student Code of Conduct and with all legal implications under relevant criminal law. Underage drinking is against the law and student-athletes who choose to break this law will face disciplinary action. Those students aged 21 years or older involved in an alcohol-related incident that is reported to the department are held accountable for their actions. Each situation is handled on an individual basis and an appropriate course of action in dealing with the problem is the responsibility of the student- athlete’s coach and the Director of Athletics.
