Policy for Alcohol and/or Drug Use Amnesty in Sexual Misconduct and Interpersonal Violence Cases

The health and safety of every student at the College is of utmost importance. The College strongly encourages students to report domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault to College officials. The College recognizes that students who have been drinking and/or using drugs (whether such use is voluntary or involuntary) at the time that violence, including but not limited to domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault occurs, may be hesitant to report such incidents due to fear of potential consequences for their own conduct. A bystander acting in good faith or a Complainant acting in good faith that discloses any incident of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault to College officials or law enforcement will not be subject to College Regulations for violations of alcohol and/or drug use policies occurring at or near the time of the commission of the domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault.
