Department of Athletics Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco, Code JFCHA. The Athletic Department has a firm commitment to the health and well-being of its student athletes. 威尼斯人娱乐城 believes that athletics is an avenue by which an individual can realize his or her potential and experience personal growth. In keeping with this belief, the Athletic Department believes student athletes should be role models for other students. In so doing, it is expected within this context that behavior of the highest level be demonstrated by the student athletes.
The College believes that the use of controlled substances, "performance enhancing" drugs, and alcohol constitutes a threat to the integrity of intercollegiate athletics, represents a danger to the health and careers of student athletes, and unduly exposes student athletes to exploitation. In addition, the use of controlled drugs is against the law. The Athletic Department has therefore adopted this policy and program for alcohol and drug education, prevention of alcohol and drug use, and appropriate intervention procedures for student athletes.
The Athletic Department, its coaching staff, physicians, athletic trainer, and members of the college community strongly believe that the use of tobacco, illegal drugs, alcohol and misuse of prescription drugs are detrimental to the physical and mental well-being of its student athletes. Therefore, the Athletic Department has implemented a mandatory program of education and counseling/rehabilitation efforts, as well as conducting random and reasonable suspicion alcohol and drug testing, to protect the health and safety of the students associated with 威尼斯人娱乐城.
Substance Abuse Code, JFCH. The College is dedicated to maintaining standards resulting in quality education meeting the needs of students and the community.
