MHC Policy
on an Alcohol- and Drug-Free Environment
Mount Holyoke College Policy on an Alcohol-
and Drug-Free Environment prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution,
dispensation, possession, or use of controlled
substances and alcohol by any member of the faculty, staff, or
student body on College property or at any College-sponsored function,
whether on or off campus, and requires the cooperation of the entire
campus community in its effort to maintain a drug-free environment
in all phases of campus life. Any faculty or staff member or student
who violates this prohibition, or who does not cooperate with the
College, in its attempts to maintain a drug-free environment, will
face disciplinary action up to and including expulsion or dismissal
from the College and may be required, as a condition of continuing
the faculty/staff/student relationship with the College, to enroll
at her or his own expense in a substance-abuse counseling and treatment
program. Individuals violating any town of South Hadley ordinances,
Massachusetts criminal laws, or federal laws relating to alcohol
or drug use also risk fines and imprisonment. Information pertaining
to the health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and
the abuse of alcohol, a resource guide listing some of the area
facilities offering counseling services, and a summary of some
of the federal, state, and local sanctions against illegal drug
and alcohol use and abuse, possession, distribution, and dispensation
is available from the Human Resources Department, the Dean of Faculty's Office, the Alcohol and
Other Drug Awareness Project, the Dean of Students' Office,
and the Health Center. Copies are also on reserve at the College
library. Specific rules and regulations governing alcohol consumption
and violations of College policies are outlined in the Student
Handbook, Staff Handbook, and the Handbook
of Faculty Legislation.
