In compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act and the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act, Vanderbilt äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ prohibits the unlawful possession, use, manufacture, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students, faculty members, and staff members on its property or as part of any äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾-sponsored activities. This prohibition extends to off-campus professional activities of Vanderbilt faculty and staff members, including attendance at professional conferences and participation in student programs abroad, when those activities are sponsored by the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾. If a faculty member is convicted of any drug-related criminal violation on äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ premises or while conducting äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ business off the premises, that faculty member must notify their/her/his Dean no later than five days following the conviction.
Vanderbilt äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ will impose disciplinary sanctions on students, faculty members, and staff members, up to and including expulsion or termination of employment and referral for prosecution, for violation of this prohibition. A condition of continuance may include the completion of an appropriate rehabilitation program. These sanctions will be imposed consistent with disciplinary standards and procedures found in the Faculty Manual, the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ and Medical Center Substance Abuse Policy (Policy #HR-035), the Vanderbilt äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Medical Center Alcohol and Drug Use Policy (OP 30-08), and any applicable union contract.
Counseling and treatment for drug or alcohol abuse and addiction are available through on- campus programs. In addition, many local community organizations offer rehabilitation programs. Faculty and staff members should contact the Employee Assistance Program, 615-936-1327, for information about available services and referrals.
