Shawnee state university is committed to a healthy and safe environment for students, faculty and staff, and visitors in venues where the presence of alcohol does not interfere with the learning experience or the peaceful environment of the campus and community. This rule establishes parameters for the purchase, possession, distribution, and consumption of alcohol as described herein and in accordance with related procedures.
For university-sponsored events targeted to students, student purchase, possession, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages are prohibited without prior authorization. This includes events on or off campus, and in university-provided vehicles.
The prior-approved purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages on university property for events and conferences must be in accordance with the exclusive food services agreement and any alcohol operating license held and maintained by the university and/or its food services vendor.
If the event at which alcohol is purchased and/or consumed is sponsored by a non-university group or individual, proof of an appropriate level of liability insurance may be required. Decisions about insurance requirements will be made by the university events office in collaboration with the university's risk manager.
Patrons, including students, attending events at which alcoholic beverages are served will be held responsible for their personal conduct, as well as the conduct of guests. A violation of this rule may be found when university officials or the department of public safety determine that an individual's conduct while possessing or consuming an alcoholic beverage is irresponsible, disorderly, or inconsiderate.
The president will ensure the establishment of procedures necessary to effectively implement this rule.
