Substance-Free Campus and Workplace Policy (IV.A.9)
Purdue University is committed to providing students, faculty, staff and visitors a safe, healthy campus and workplace. The university recognizes the health risks associated with controlled substance use and alcohol misuse and is committed to supporting students and employees who seek treatment for these conditions.
The university also recognizes that controlled substance use and alcohol misuse diminish workplace and campus safety and undermine the university’s ability to fulfill its mission. The university has therefore developed a Substance-Free Campus and Workplace Policy.
In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, every year the University is required by the federal government to advise you of the University’s alcohol and drug policy. A summary of the key points of the Substance-Free Campus and Workplace Policy information is below.
