are hereby informed that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession,
or use of a controlled substance is prohibited at the MBL. Employees are
required to adhere to this drug-free policy as a condition of employment. Renters
of space, faculty, students, and visitors are required to adhere to this policy as a
condition of participating in MBL activities and of occupying laboratory, library or
housing space at the MBL. Employees who violate this drug-free workplace policy
will be disciplined by the MBL, which may result in termination of employment or
require satisfactory participation in an approved drug-abuse rehabilitation program.
Renters of space, faculty, students, and visitors who violate this drug-free workplace
policy will be asked to leave the MBL immediately without refund of fees, and
with the possibility of a ban from future use of the MBL’s facilities. Additionally,
