Purpose
The University Alcohol Policies are intended to guide practices relating to alcohol use in order to achieve the following:

1. Provide a safe and secure environment for all students.
2. Promote healthy choices for students.
3. Consistently enforce laws and policies regarding the use of alcohol.
4. Educate students regarding safe, legal, responsible, moderate consumption of alcohol for those who choose to drink and do not punish responsible, legal behavior.
5. Encourage students to take responsibility for each other. Good Samaritan behavior should be supported and recognized, and students should be provided with the tools to help others practice safe and responsible behavior.
6. Provide assistance, when appropriate, to those students who need support, treatment, and other services.
7. Involve students in all steps of the process and program development.
8. Focus alcohol abuse prevention efforts on campus and community environments since the University is part of the surrounding community that influences students' behavior.
9. Use social norm principles and peer education and enforcement as core components of an education and prevention program. The Social Norms approach uses informational campaigns to correct widespread student misperception of peers' drinking. Peer educator programs, such as the BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education Network, use students to encourage their peers to develop responsible habits and attitudes regarding alcohol and related issues.
