Drugs And Alcohol Abuse

Compliance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989

SUNY Oneonta hereby prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees on our property or as any part of our institutional activities.

The College will impose sanctions on students and employees who violate this policy consistent with local, state, and federal law. Students will be subject to the judicial procedures specified in this publication. Other corrective action may include the completion of an appropriate rehabilitation program.

The College will interpret local, state, and federal regulations in the strictest sense to assure a drug-free workplace.

The College, on an annual basis, will provide to each student and employee information describing the health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol.

The College is committed to offering employees and students counseling and/or referral to the appropriate agencies for problems associated with drugs and alcohol. For students, the campus Counseling Center is available for confidential counseling and referrals.

Finally, SUNY Oneonta commits to biennial reviews of our programs associated with this statement to determine program effectiveness and implement necessary changes. It is also our intention to assure consistent applications of this policy to all students and employees alike.

College Regulations Regarding Alcoholic Beverages

The College has an obligation to develop policies and procedures that reflect our relationships to the larger Oneonta community and to New York State. The campus alcohol policy has been revised because of legislative amendments to the New York State Alcohol Beverage Control Law. The College will, however, continue to stress the importance of alcohol education within the campus community. As is true with any policy or regulation, voluntary compliance is essential for its successful implementation.

While procedures have been developed for addressing violations of the campus alcohol policy, respect for issues of student privacy and security from unreasonable intrusions will be consistent with policy and past practice.

The College will comply with the requirements of the New York State Alcohol Beverage Control Law. Amendments to the law provide that, "No person under the age of 21 shall possess any alcoholic beverage with the intent to consume such beverage." College regulations pertaining to this law will be implemented in the following manner:

Residence Halls

Alcoholic beverages are not permitted in residence halls and no events will be approved in which alcohol will be served or consumed. Residents are subject to all local and state laws concerning the use, possession, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages.

Other Areas

College policy prohibits open containers of alcoholic beverages in all outside areas on the campus. Bringing alcoholic beverages to any public or private event on campus is not permitted.

Occasional Service

Upon approval of the Hunt College Union Director, alcohol may be served at specifically approved student functions under the application procedure described below. These functions must be serviced only by the Organization of Ancillary Services designated by the Hunt College Union Director. Beverage service will be operated in accordance with federal, state, and local laws under the license obtained by the Organization of Ancillary Services of the State University of New York in Oneonta.

Application to Serve Alcohol

Individuals or organizations requesting alcohol service must do so by completing the appropriate College Activity Registration forms and submitting them to the Director or his/her designee, no later than 30 days before the proposed event. The Director, in consultation with appropriate divisions of the College and OAS, will inform the applicant of the decision within 48 hours of the receipt of the application.

Violations (resulting from “occasional service” as outlined above)

Violation of this policy will result in appropriate disciplinary sanctions up to and including dismissal, as provided for under established SUNY Oneonta judicial procedures. While students are subject to the provisions of campus alcohol policy, the following information is provided regarding provisions of the Alcohol Beverage Control Law:

*Violators are subject to a fine of up to $50 per offense but are not subject to arrest. Alcoholic beverages involved in alleged violations of this law may be seized by authorized law enforcement officials, including campus police officers. Disposal and destruction of seized alcoholic beverages are also authorized but cannot be carried out until three days after the initial appearance date, unless otherwise ordered by a court.

* Persons under the age of 21 who present falsified or fraudulently altered proofs of age for the purpose of purchasing or attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages are guilty of a violation, punishable by a fine up to $100 and a community service requirement of up to 30 hours. Previously, violations of this section were punishable only by the imposition of a one-year probationary period and a fine.

* A person under the age of 21 who represents an altered New York State driver's license for the purpose of illegally purchasing an alcoholic beverage may be subject to a suspension of that driver's license for up to 90 days and may also be required to apply to the Department of Motor Vehicles for a restricted use driver's license following the suspension.

* No person shall sell, deliver, give away, permit, procure to be sold, delivered, or given away, any alcoholic beverages to any intoxicated person or any person under the influence of alcohol.

*Any person who shall be injured in person, property, means of support or otherwise by an intoxicated person, or by reason of the intoxication of any person, whether resulting in his/her death or not, shall have a right of action against any person who shall, by unlawfully selling to or unlawfully assisting in procuring liquor for such intoxicated person, have caused or contributed to such intoxication; and in any such action, such person shall have a right to recover actual and exemplary damages.

* Social host liability creates civil liability for anyone who knowingly furnishes alcoholic beverages to any intoxicated person under the legal age of purchase if intoxication results in injury or damages to a third party.

New York State Education Law

New York State Education Law prohibits hazing that involves the forced consumption of alcohol.

Drugs

The drug problem on campus is complex and solutions to drug misuse are difficult. Nevertheless, the possession, sale, or use of any illegal drug on or off campus cannot be condoned.

In addition to taking appropriate action on its own part, the College will continue to cooperate with appropriate health and law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation. No sanctuary for those who violate state and federal narcotic laws will be provided by any agency or office of this College. The penalties both on and off campus for the possession and/or sale of illegal drugs are very severe.

The College, through its Student Affairs Division, is committed to providing the campus with an ongoing program dealing with the problems related to drug abuse and aimed specifically at its prevention through education.

The CHOICES Program

The CHOICES (Choosing Healthy Options in the College Environment Successfully) program is designed to reduce high-risk use of alcohol and other drugs. Students who wish to become active in planning, implementing, and facilitating workshops regarding high risk use and related problems (safe sex, acquaintance rape, family model of alcoholism, etc.) enroll in a two credit hour class that give intensive training in a wide variety of substance abuse issues. These students make up the Peer Education program and take their workshops to residence halls, classrooms, clubs, and the Greek system. These workshops are interactive, entertaining, and effective. Volunteers are also welcomed to join CHOICES as peer educators or as aides in special activities. Prevention Theater is another component of the grant that may be seen during the week of Orientation and is available throughout the semester to interested groups.

Additionally, Dale Capristo is certified to teach OCTAA (On Campus Talking About Alcohol), a highly lauded alcohol abuse prevention model, which is receiving national attention for its effectiveness in reducing alcohol use and abuse. If you require information regarding any aspect of CHOICES, you may reach Dale Capristo at x2469.

Effects and Health Risks of Drugs and Alcohol

Alcohol

Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood of an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person's ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described.

Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is like to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life threatening. Long term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs, such as the brain and liver.

Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) or fetal alcohol effect (FAE). Both FAS and FAE are the leading known cause of mental retardation, which is irreversible. To prevent this syndrome, total abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy is necessary. Alcohol should also be avoided if you are trying to become pregnant, as significant damage may occur before pregnancy is discovered.

Tobacco and the Body

Tobacco, commonly smoked through pipes, cigars, and cigarettes, can also be chewed and inhaled in the form of snuff Nicotine is the active ingredient in all forms of tobacco. Nicotine stimulates the heart and central nervous system and is a power constrictor of small arteries. Insufficient oxygen to the heart is the cause of heart attacks. Smoking causes the lungs and bronchioles to be inflamed and congested. Possible health risks of tobacco include arteriosclerosis, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart disease, and lung cancer.

Cannabis (Marijuana, pot, grass, reefer, joint, Acapulco Gold, sinsemilla, Thai sticks, weed, THC, Marinol, Hashish, Hashish Oil)

The psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC. The amount of THC in a joint is what effects the user. THC is used medically as an anti-nauseant for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

Possible signs of use or abuse of cannabis include increased heart and pulse rate, bloodshot eyes, increased appetite, dryness in mouth and throat, hallucinations, paranoia or panic, impaired memory, altered sense of time, and decreased concentration, reaction time, and coordination.

Health risks include damage to heart and lungs, damage to brain nerve cells, lung cancer, memory disorders, interference with psychological maturation, temporary loss of fertility in men and women, psychological dependence, and bronchitis. For pregnant women, health risks are premature births and low birth weights.

Designer Drugs

Designer Drugs are lab-made versions of drugs that are designated controlled substances under U.S. law. Under provisions of the Controlled Substance Analog Act, designer drugs are illegal.

Early designer drugs included substitutes for heroin, amphetamines, and hallucinogens, including MDMA (“E”,”X”,”XTC,” ecstasy).

Risks of designer drugs are often related to how the drugs are made as well as how they are used. Base chemicals such as phenylacetic acid, formaldehyde, carbamate, acetic anhydride, and others can build up to toxic levels in the labs. In the process of synthesizing some chemicals can poison the final product-creating seizure-inducing forms of PCP for instance. Many times, the chemist doesn’t know exactly what drug he’s created until it’s been “tested” on real people and confirmed by medical examiners.

MDMA, MDA, XTC, ADAM, Rhapsody, E, X, ecstasy.

Risks associated with MDMA include the possibility of overdose and related risk of hypothermia. Because MDA/MDMA are amphetamines tolerance develops quickly and overdose is possible, liver damage and exhaustion can occur. The drugs are known to intensify heart problems. Research indicates there may be damage to brain cells that manufacture the neurotransmitter serotonin.

There are risks connected to all night dancing and MDMA-dehydration; heat exhaustion and dangerously high body temperature are the most common serious. (Taking breaks to cool off and drinking plenty of water will help alleviate the risk.
