July 12, 2004 – Archived Version (Effective July 12, 2004 through November 15, 2007) - Revised to update the policy and to incorporate suggestions
contained in a model drug testing policy drafted by the Office of the President’s
Office of Legal Affairs following a review of institutional drug testing
policies and input from campus drug testing coordinators. The proposed
revisions strengthen the goals and objectives of the program and clarify
the hearing process and sanctions that are available for violation of the
policy. The testing protocol is taken out of the main policy language and
made part of the appendix; the due process procedures are clarified for
sanctions that are less than suspension and attorney participation is deleted;
rehabilitation and counseling are made permissible, not a right or mandate
and may be required as a sanction; and sanctions for violations of the
policy are clarified.
November 16, 2007 Current Version -
