Thisunique community has many of the aspects of a small town. The University President is the community leader,the Administrative Committee is like a town council, and the Maintenance Department provides public worksservices. Everyone who lives, works and studies on our campus, is a member of the Methodist Universitycommunity. Like any other community, Methodist University has developed a set of standards for its members tofollow. The Methodist University Judicial Code is the set of rules that every member of the Methodist Universitycommunity has agreed to follow. Students should review and understand the Judicial Code, because everystudent who enrolls at Methodist University is subject to the provisions of the Judicial Code.It is impossible for a single Judicial Code to cover every situation. With this in mind, the Presidentand the Board of Trustees of Methodist University have authorized the Vice President of StudentDevelopment and Services (hereafter referred to as the Dean of Students) to enforce, by sanctionor policy, situations that may not specifically be addressed in this handbook including mattersthat are governed by local, state, and/or federal laws. Changes to the handbook will be publishedin the form of an addendum, which will be given the widest distribution reasonably possible.Students are responsible for their actions. Being under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is no excusefor improper action and, in fact, makes the violation more serious. Students are also responsible for theiractions during off-campus trips. Those students whose behavior puts themselves or others at risk or whounreasonably disrupt the University environment will be expelled from the University.Students must carry their University Identification Card at all times. All students must present theirUniversity Identification Card to any faculty or staff member upon request, failure to present their cardwill be considered a violation of the University’s Failure to comply with the Direction of College Officialpolicy. Students will be subject to the judicial sanction outlined under this policy.The Silent Witness ProgramCommunity members who have information or knowledge with regard to criminal or illegal activity mayanonymously report that information through the Silent Witness program. Submissions should be madeto www.methodist.edu/student_life/ps_silent.htm.74
Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD)Alcohol PolicyExcessive use of alcohol has led to the early termination of more academic careers, and the disruption ofmore personal lives, among University students than any other single cause. Half of all accidental deathsinvolving University students can be attributed to the excessive use of alcohol. At Methodist University, weare very concerned about the negative impact that alcohol is having on the youth of our country. We alsofeel that there is no place for the excessive use of alcohol as part of the overall development experiencefor any of our students. With this in mind, we have established and long maintained the policy describedon the following pages.The State of North Carolina prohibits the use of alcohol by persons under the age of21. It is also illegal, in our state, for a person of legal alcohol drinking age to purchase for or provide alcoholto anyone who is underage. Methodist University fully supports and upholds the state law. Because theoverwhelming majority of our students are underage and very susceptible to the negative impact of alcohol,and because we support the mandates of the United Methodist Church, the possession or consumptionof any alcoholic beverage is prohibited on the Methodist University campus regardless of one’s age.Possession is defined as having any alcoholic beverage or its commercially produced container onthe student’s person, in the student’s room, in the student’s automobile, or among properties owned orbeing used by the student. Given reasonable cause, residence hall rooms, common living areas, andautomobiles may be searched for alcohol. All residents and/or visitors who are found in the presence ofalcohol possession or consumption are subject to the same sanctions as the individual(s) who actuallybrought the alcohol and/or alcohol containers into the environment or were possessing or consuming itregardless of how long they were present on the scene.Consequences of Alcohol Related ViolationThe first time that a student is found responsible for the possession, on campus, of an alcoholic beverage ora commercially produced alcoholic beverage container, he or she will be subject to the following sanctions:1. Up to a $100 fine (The actual amount of the fine is related to the severity of the offense).Students will also be assigned up to 20 hours of community service, which must be completedwithin the designated time given.2. Required participation in a substance abuse assessment and, any follow-up counseling,education, and/or treatment to be conducted by the Director of the Center for PersonalDevelopment. If a student fails to comply with the assessment, education, and/or treatmentrecommended by the Director of the Center for Personal Development, he or she will besubject to a minimum of an additional $500 fine, and a maximum of suspension.3. If the student is under the age of 21, the Dean of Students will write a letter to the parent(s) orlegal guardian(s) of the student informing them that the student has been found responsiblefor his or her first alcohol related offense. The letter will also recommend that the parentsbecome directly involved in an effort to create a situation that will minimize the chances ofthe student becoming involved in a second alcohol related incident.The second time that a current student is found responsible for possession, on campus, of an alcoholicbeverage or a commercially produced alcoholic beverage container, he or she will be subject to thefollowing sanctions:1. Payment of a $200 fine.2. Additional participation in a substance abuse assessment and, if required, follow-upcounseling, education, and/or treatment to be conducted by the Director of the Center forPersonal Development. As in the case of the first offense, if a student fails to comply withthe assessment, education, and or treatment related directions provided by the Director ofthe Center for Personal Development, he or she will be subject to a minimum of an additional$500 fine, and a maximum of expulsion.3. If the student is under the age of 21, the Dean of Students will write a letter to the parent(s) orlegal guardian(s) of the student informing them that the student has been found responsiblefor his or her second alcohol related offense. The letter will also recommend that the parentsbecome directly involved in an effort to create a situation that will minimize the chances ofthe student becoming involved in a third alcohol related incident (for students under 21).The third time that a current student is found responsible for possession, on campus, of an alcoholicbeverage or a commercially produced alcoholic beverage container; he or she will be subject to aminimum of suspension and a maximum of expulsion.75
