  Alcohol on Campus
    The law of the State of Missouri states: “Any person under the age of twenty-one who purchases or attempts to purchase, or has in his possession any intoxicating liquor...is guilty of a misdemeanor. Furthermore, anyone guilty of a misdemeanor shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not less than fifty dollars, nor more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding one (1) year, or by both such fine or jail sentence.”

Saint Louis University recognizes both the letter and spirit of the law, as well as the needs of students for social activities. Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Low doses impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely. Low to moderate doses increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts and impairs decision-making abilities. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause impairments in higher mental functions that can severely alter a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence.

Withdrawal symptoms from alcohol include severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations and convulsions. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol also can lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and liver.

The following Alcohol Policy and Guidelines set parameters within which alcohol use will reflect this increasing awareness of our concern for ourselves and each other.
   
1.7.1.1
  Alcohol on Campus: Missouri Law
    In observance of the law of Missouri and local ordinances, no person under the age of 21 may purchase or attempt to purchase, or have in his or her possession, any alcoholic or intoxicating beverage on University premises or at University activities.

Therefore, no alcoholic beverage may be served or sold to anyone under 21 years of age on University premises or at University activities. Students must present two forms of valid photo identification or comply with University reasonable age verification procedures at events held on the University’s premises at which alcohol is available.

Students found presenting false identification or taking other steps to acquire alcohol as a minor will be subject to disciplinary action under the Code of Non-Academic Student Discipline and Responsibility, and risk criminal prosecution.
   
1.7.1.2
  Alcohol on Campus: Consumption
    Consumption of alcoholic beverages by those who are over 21 years of age, on University premises, is permitted ONLY at those student events or locations that have been expressly approved by the Office of Student Life and ONLY in those locations for which the University has a license. Approval for alcohol service at events sponsored by University departments must be obtained from the appropriate director, dean or Vice President.
   
1.7.1.3
  Alcohol on Campus: University Funds
    University funds may not be used to pay for any portion of an event at which alcohol may be provided, served to or consumed by minors.
   
1.7.1.4
  Alcohol on Campus: Food and Beverages
    Arrangements for food and beverages for on-campus events must be made with University Dining Services, which has the responsibility for verifying the legality of persons seeking to purchase or obtain alcohol. No food or beverages may be brought to an event by an outside caterer except with special authorization.
   
1.7.1.5
  Alcohol on Campus: Public Safety
    Monitoring and enforcing compliance with the policy and guidelines are the responsibility of the Department of Public Safety for outside events, and the director/manager of the building for inside events. Compliance with the policy in the residence halls and University-owned housing is the responsibility of the Director of Housing and Residence Life and the Residence Life staff.
   
1.7.1.6
  Alcohol on Campus:
    University departments and student organizations also may impose additional, more stringent restrictions on the use and distribution of alcohol by their members.
Additional University alcohol-related policies include the Dry Rush Policy (section 3.2.7); Advertising and Alcohol Policy (section 3.5.3); and the Residence Life Alcohol Policy, published in the Residence Life Guide section of the Student Handbook. Alcohol guidelines for student athletes can be obtained from the Athletic Department, located in Bauman-Eberhardt Athletic Center. Copies of the Greek Social Event Policy, intended to provide risk management guidelines and govern the use and distribution of alcohol at fraternity and sorority events, are available at the Office of Student Life, Room 335, Busch Student Center.

As a Catholic, Jesuit educational institution, Saint Louis University expects our students to develop a responsible philosophy on the appropriate use of alcoholic beverages. The University encourages students to consider all the implications of drinking and to arrive at a conscientious decision about how they will personally use alcohol.

The University respects civil law, and may take reasonable steps to protect the rights of others threatened by illegal or immoderate drinking on University premises or at social events sponsored by the University. The University, therefore, prohibits drinking that infringes on the rights of others, prohibits misconduct due to drinking or drinking by anyone under 21 years of age. The University prohibits any drinking patterns that lead to behaviors detrimental to the health and welfare of the individual, student group or University community. Social activities are expected to have clear purposes, other than the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The University encourages moderation in the use of alcohol, for those of legal age, who choose to drink. The University strongly asserts that choosing not to drink is as socially acceptable as choosing to drink.

Finally, in accord with our policy, the University will sponsor programs and develop guidelines to help community members understand the advantages of a healthy lifestyle, the consequences of use and abuse of alcohol, the moral implications of alcohol use, and the importance of personal and community responsibility.
In accordance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, the University annually distributes to students an informational brochure that includes the University Alcohol and Drug Policies, counseling and assistance programs, University and legal sanctions, health risks, and uses and effects of controlled substances. Additional copies are available in the Office of Student Life, BSC 335. All students should become familiar with this information.

For assistance and information on issues relating to alcohol please contact the Student Health and Counseling Center at 977-2323
   
1.8
  Illegal Drugs
    Possession, use and distribution of stimulants, depressants, narcotics or hallucinogenic drugs, and other illegal agents having potential for abuse, except on a physician’s or dentist’s prescription, is forbidden by University policy and local, state and/or federal law. Such use, possession and conduct are prohibited on Saint Louis University’s premises, or as part of any University activities. Selling, bartering, exchanging or giving away such substances to any person is illegal and prohibited. Any student engaged in such activities will be subject to arrest by law enforcement agents and will be subject to severe disciplinary action, including but not limited to suspension or dismissal.

In accordance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, the University annually distributes to students an informational brochure that includes the University Alcohol and Drug Policies, counseling and assistance programs, University and legal sanctions, health risks, and uses and effects of controlled substances.
   
1.9
  Saint Louis University Policy On AIDS/HIV Illness
    Saint Louis University Policy On AIDS/HIV Illness
The tragedy of HIV has touched and will continue to touch the Saint Louis University community. As a Catholic university in the Jesuit tradition, Saint Louis University believes that it can express personal care of students and employees by providing operational procedures that manifest justice and compassion in matters relating to HIV.

The University recognizes and affirms its responsibility to:
  • Respond to its students and employees with HIV in a manner consistent with the best medical and scientific information available.
  • Provide educational opportunities about the medical aspects of the disease and legitimate ways of preventing it in a manner consistent with its Catholic, Jesuit identity and in ways that are appropriate for the diverse populations of our University community.
  • Stand in solidarity with and reach out with compassion and understanding to those with the HIV disease and their loved ones, especially if they are members of our University community or people in the care of our professional schools and their clinics.
  • Respect the rights and dignity of persons with HIV.
  • Discrimination against persons with HIV is unjust and immoral, and it will not be tolerated at Saint Louis University.
   
1.9.1
  Aids/HIV Illness: Admissions
    Admissions. The University will not deny admission to an HIV-infected applicant on the basis of his or her HIV infection, unless the University has concluded, on the grounds of sound medical and scientific evidence, that the applicant’s HIV infection would prevent him or her from completing essential program requirements and that no reasonable accommodation could be made that would enable the applicant to complete such requirements.
   
1.9.2
  Aids /HIV Illness: Access to Campus Facilities:
    Infection with HIV, per se, will not restrict a student’s access to campus dining facilities, student centers, recreational or sports centers or fields, swimming pools, or other common areas.
   
1.9.3.1
  Adis / Hiv Illness: Residence Halls
    Decisions about housing for students with the HIV infection must be made on a case-by-case basis. The best currently available medical information does not indicate any risk to those sharing residence with infected individuals. In some circumstances, however, there may be reasonable concern for the health, safety and welfare of students with immune deficiencies (of any origin) when those students might be exposed to certain contagious diseases, such as measles or chicken pox, in a close living situation. Single occupancy rooms are therefore recommended for those students with immune deficiencies.
   
1.9.3
  Aids / HIV Ilness: Residence
   
   
1.9.3.2
  Aids / HIV Illness: Residence Hall Room Changes
    Room Changes. This policy will be consistent with those stated in the Residence Hall Guide and the “Room Change” policy, which states that a room change must be approved by the Director of Housing and Residence Life.
   
1.9.3.3
  Aids / HIV Illness: Residence Hall Staff
    Residence Hall staff will receive education about AIDS and related concerns as part of their regular annual training before the arrival of students.
   
1.9.4
  Aids / HIV Ilness: Classroom Attendance
    Classroom Attendance. Individuals with HIV infection, whether symptomatic or not, should not be restricted from regular classroom and laboratory attendance, so long as they are physically and mentally able to attend classes.
   
1.9.5
  Aids / HIV Ilness: Athletic Facilities and Activities
    Athletic Facilities and Activities. Individuals should not be restricted from participating in the University’s intercollegiate, intramural, recreational or physical education programs because of HIV infection, as long as, from a medical perspective, they are able to participate. Such individuals are encouraged to seek medical advice before participating in programs requiring vigorous physical activity to ensure that such activity will not be damaging or harmful to their health.
   
1.9.6
  Aids / HIV Illness: International Students
    International Students. In general, the provisions of the University’s policy on AIDS will apply to international students as it does to American students. The International Student Services Office, located in DuBourg Hall, Room 242, is available to international students as an additional source of information and support.

Non-immigrant aliens in this country on foreign student VISAs are entitled to remain for the period they are pursuing a full course of studies. Regulations specifically provide that the student’s visa status is not affected if illness or a medical condition interrupts or reduces the course of study, so long as a full course of study is resumed upon recovery.
   
1.9.7
  Aids / HIV Illness: Health Sciences Center Students
    Medical Center students are subject to these general University policies, as well as any specific policies on HIV or AIDS promulgated by the Health Sciences Center or other applicable departments and/or programs. If there are any inconsistencies between this University-wide policy and the Health Sciences Center policy, the Health Sciences Center policy shall control with respect to students, employees and activities at the Health Sciences Center.
   
1.10

1.11.4.1
  Sexual Harassment Policy: Complaints Against Students
    The formal resolution of sexual harassment complaints against a University student is governed by the Code of Non-Academic Discipline and Responsibilities (“Code”). In the case of certain professional schools, those policies and procedures applicable to professional conduct or sexual harassment shall be controlling. Section 3.1 of the Code prohibits behavior that “injures, degrades, disgraces, or tends to injure, degrade or disgrace any person including sexual assault [or] sexual harassment...”
Any member of the University community may file a complaint against a student or a registered student organization for conduct or activities in violation of the Code.

Charges involving conduct in the residence hall system should be filed with any Residence Life Professional Staff Member. All other charges involving conduct outside of the residence hall system should be filed with the Frost campus University Judicial Officer; and at the Health Sciences Center, the dean of the particular school or his or her designee.

A copy of the applicable hearing procedures and information concerning the process may be obtained from the Affirmative Action Officer.

The University recognizes the sensitive nature of sexual harassment behavior and has endeavored within this policy and procedure to provide a positive atmosphere to correct and eliminate such behavior. The University, as well as the individual must, at the same time, recognize that in determining whether the alleged conduct constitutes sexual harassment, consideration should be given to the record as a whole and the totality of the circumstances, including the nature of the sexual harassment and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred. The University will, to the best of its ability, maintain confidentiality in all matters relating to the investigation of sexual harassment. Retaliation against an employee or student for filing a sexual harassment complaint will not be tolerated and shall constitute separate grounds for subsequent disciplinary action.

The above procedure does not abrogate the rights of either the accused or the complainant to pursue such matters through existing grievance procedures of the University.
   
1.12
  Sexual Assault Policy
   
   
1.12.1
  Sexual Assault Policy: Introduction
    As a Catholic, Jesuit educational institution, Saint Louis University is committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment conducive to the academic pursuit and healthy personal development of all students. All members of the University community share responsibility for fostering this environment by adhering to standards of conduct. Sexual assault is a serious violation of these standards.
A member of the University community (staff, faculty or student) accused of sexual assault may be charged both within the University community and in the local criminal and civil court system. Even if criminal justice authorities or the victim choose not to prosecute, the University may pursue disciplinary action. This disciplinary action could result in temporary or permanent dismissal or suspension of a student, or the discharge of an employee, from the University.
   
1.12.2
  Sexual Assault Policy: Definition
    For purposes of this policy, sexual assault is defined as sexual contact without consent and includes intentional touching, either of the victim or when the victim is forced to touch, directly or through clothing, another person’s genitals, breasts, thighs or buttocks; rape (sexual intercourse without consent whether by an acquaintance or a stranger); attempted rape; sodomy (oral sex or anal intercourse) without consent; or sexual penetration with an object without consent. To constitute lack of consent, the act(s) must be committed either by force, intimidation, or through use of the victim’s mental incapacity or physical helplessness, including intoxication.

Verbal misconduct, without accompanying physical contact as described above, is not defined as sexual assault. Verbal misconduct may however constitute sexual harassment, which also is prohibited under a separate University policy, as well as by the Code.
   
1.12.3
  Sexual Assault Policy: Educational Programs
    Educational programs to promote awareness of rape, acquaintance rape and other sex offenses are offered through various University departments. The Division of Student Development sponsors an annual rape awareness program, a peer education program, as well as periodic programs targeted for smaller groups. The Office of Residence Life sponsors discussions focuses on sexual assault during orientation for new students. Rape and acquaintance rape awareness brochures are distributed to all new students, and a program on campus safety is included in new student orientation. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in these programs and familiarize themselves with these materials.
   
1.12.4
  Sexual Assault Policy: Counseling Serivices for Victims
    Saint Louis University provides confidential, professional counseling and referrals for students needing assistance for problems related to sexual assault. Students may obtain information and assistance by calling the following Student Health and Counseling Center location 24 hours a day:

  Sexual Assault Policy: Procedures for On-Campus Disciplinary Action
    If the Assault Was Allegedly Committed by a Student:
   
1.12.6.1
  Sexual Assault Policy: Filing
    If you believe that you have been a victim of sexual assault, you are encouraged to discuss the situation with a University staff member while considering the option of filing formal disciplinary charges. The offices of Campus Ministry, Student Life, Housing and Residence Life and the Student Health and Counseling Center can offer support and information.
   
1.12.6.2
  Sexual Assault Policy: Filing a Complaint
    If you decide to file University charges, you must file a complaint in writing with the University Judicial Officer. The University Judicial Officer may press formal charges against the accused student on behalf of the University, should the alleged victim choose not to do so. The procedure follows those outlined in the Code (Section 2.13).
   
1.12.6.3
  Sexual Assault Policy: Violation
    There is a fundamental difference between student discipline and criminal law. While some terminology and procedures may resemble those used in the courts, the conduct of all student disciplinary cases within the University community must be consistent with the educational mission of Saint Louis University, rather than simply emulating legal proceedings. The standard utilized to determine if a violation has occurred is based on a finding that it is more likely than not that a violation of the Code occurred, rather than beyond a reasonable doubt.
   
1.12.6.4
  Sexual Assault Policy: Advisor
    In cases involving alleged sexual assault, both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have an adviser present during a campus disciplinary proceeding. Both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the outcome of the proceeding.
   
1.12.6.5
  Sexual Assault Policy: Same Residence Hall
    In cases involving alleged sexual assault, in which both the accused student and the student filing charges live in the same residence hall, University officials may move either or both students to another residence hall at any time for any duration.
   
1.12.7
  Sexual Assault Policy: Possible Sanctions
    Possible sanctions are indicated in the Code and include: dismissal, suspension, probation, admonition and warning, discretionary sanctions, restitution, fines, restricted access, living unit probation, living unit suspension, residence hall contract termination, probation of a student organization, suspension of a student organization, and termination of a student organization.
   
1.13
  Academic Policies
    Each college or school may adopt specific policies, regulations and procedures covering academic matters. Academic policies, regulations and procedures are available in the Dean’s office for each school. Students are expected to become aware of these requirements. In instances in which a specific policy does not exist at the University or the particular college or school, the Dean has the authority to handle and process all academic matters.
   
1.14
  Notice Of Rights Regarding Student Records
    The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. section 1232(g), as amended, is a federal law giving certain rights to parents or students regarding educational records at schools of every level receiving funding from the U.S. Department of Education. At the post-secondary school level, the rights afforded by FERPA belong, in general, to the student rather than to the parent.

In accordance with FERPA, the University annually distributes to students a Notification of Rights. Copies of the notice also may be obtained in the registrar’s office or on-line at www.slu.edu. Students with disabilities should call the University disabilities coordinator at 977-2930 to obtain assistance as needed.
   
1.15
  Notice of Rights Under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act
    The “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act” (originally known as the “Campus Security Act”), 20 USC section 1092, was enacted by the United States Congress and signed into law by President George Bush in 1990. This law, which applies to all institutions of higher education that participate in any federal student aid programs, requires schools, among other things, to publicly disclose 3 years of campus crime statistics and basic security policies.

In accordance with the Clery Act, the University annually distributes its campus crime report. Copies of the report and other information required under the Act can be obtained during normal business hours from the Department of Public Safety, DuBourg Hall 9; the Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid, DuBourg Hall 121; the Department of Athletics, Bauman Eberhardt Center 103; Medical School Admissions, Schwitalla Hall 226; the School for Professional Studies, 3322 Olive, or online at the DPS webpage.
   
1.17
  Policy on Disruption of University Activities
    The University reserves the right to take such action as it deems necessary to prevent disruption of University activities.
   
1.18
  Policy on Email Communication
    Students will receive important information via the SLU email accounts set up for them when they register. This information may include but is not limited to residence hall registration, notification regarding disciplinary status, registration confirmation, etc. It is imperative for students to check their SLU email accounts on a daily basis. Students should contact ITS in Des Peres Hall to receive account information. Also, students may receive instructions on ways to forward mail from the SLU email account to another account already in activation. Students will be held accountable for all information sent to them in this manner.
