Judicial Affairs Policy
Alcohol and Drug Use
Alcoholic
Beverages
Except as provided
below, it is unlawful for any person to sell, offer or expose for sale,
give away or furnish to another person in any manner whatsoever or to
consume any alcoholic beverage in a university workplace or residence
facility.
Sale
a. Alcoholic
beverages may be sold on university property only by the vendor selected
by the California State University, Fullerton, Foundation (hereinafter
referred to as the "Foundation") to conduct such sale after
said vendor has obtained the appropriate state license.
b. The location
of sale will be in accord with the terms of the license obtained.
c. Sales within
the Titan Student Union will also require the prior approval of the TSU
Director, who will assure him/herself that such sale may be accomplished
in a manner consistent with the law.
Furnishing
Without Charge
a. When furnished
without charge to the consumer in connection with an event sponsored by
a recognized campus organization or department, alcoholic beverages may
be dispensed in meeting rooms and public areas of university buildings,
and on enclosed outdoor areas attached, and in any area of the grounds
of the President’s residence, with the prior approval of the President
or appropriate Vice President or the designee of these persons. Because
of licensing requirements, however, it is unlawful for anyone except the
licensed vendor to furnish alcoholic beverages without charge in the Titan
Student Union or any other area of the campus where the vendor selected
by the Foundation is licensed to sell such beverages.
Consumption
a. Alcoholic
beverages may be consumed, possessed or stored by persons age 21 or over
living in university residence halls and their guests who are of legal
drinking age, but only in the individual residence hall suites and not
in corridors, outside residence hall decks or walkways. Such beverages
may be consumed in public or outdoor areas of the residence complex only
with a special written permit issued by the Vice President of Student
Affairs or designee.
b. Except as
noted above, no person may bring alcoholic beverages to any university
workplace for his/her own consumption unless the President has designated
a university sponsored event as a place where such self-furnishing may
occur.
Implementation
Procedure
a. Prior to
approving the sale by the licensed vendor designated by the Foundation
in a campus location other than those covered by the vendor’s regular
license, the President, appropriate Vice President or designee shall receive
from the person or organization proposing to ask the vendor to sell or
furnish without charge such beverages a written proposal which shall include:
1. The name of the person
in charge of the event.2. The nature of the event and how it will be
publicized.3. The number, age range and average age of the expected
participants.4. A detailed written plan of how service to underage or
intoxicated persons will be prevented.
b. A copy of
the above proposal will be furnished to the Department of Public Safety,
whose comments will be invited and considered by the appropriate administrator
before a decision is made to allow or not allow the event.
c. Whenever
alcoholic beverages are served on campus as provided in this directive,
the university administrator who has authorized the use of alcoholic beverages
at said event assumes responsibility for insuring that reasonable steps
have been taken to preclude such beverages being dispensed to any person
who is under- age or intoxicated. Such administrator shall be mindful
of the fact that he/she may be found by the courts to be legally liable
for personal injury or property damage arising from the actions of anyone
who becomes intoxicated at the event. Organizations sponsoring events
at which alcohol is served may be legally liable in the event of injury
or property damage resulting from such beverages being dispensed illegally.
d. Alcoholic
beverages may not be served for longer than three hours at any event unless
that event includes full meal service.
e. The Director
of Commercial Operations of the Foundation will be responsible for monitoring
the performance of the vendor selected by the Foundation to sell alcoholic
beverages on campus on an ongoing basis to insure that said vendor is
taking appropriate steps to insure that underage and intoxicated persons
are not being served.
f. Distillers,
brewers and distributors of alcoholic beverages who wish to advertise
their product on campus shall have the prior approval of the appropriate
university administrators.

Violations
of Law
All applicable
state laws will be enforced by the Department of Public Safety which will
refer to the District Attorney for prosecution any student, faculty or
staff member found to be in violation.
Violation
of University Policy
In addition
to requesting prosecution under appropriate laws, the university may impose
sanctions on students, faculty and staff who violate any portion of this
directive including those portions which impose restrictions beyond or
aside from those required by law. In the case of students, these penalties
will relate to a student’s good standing in the university and/or
in the residence halls. With regard to faculty and staff, these penalties
will relate to employment status. Students in violation may be warned,
placed on university probation, suspended or dismissed from the university
and/or expelled from the residence halls depending upon the seriousness
of the violation. Faculty and staff may be counseled, issued a letter
of reprimand, referred to a mandatory substance abuse treatment program
or be formally disciplined (during which process they may be suspended
without pay, demoted or dismissed, depending on the seriousness of the
offense). Every faculty member, staff member, student assistant, graduate
assistant and student receiving or employed on federal grants shall receive
a copy of the requirements of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act
of 1989 and shall be required to certify their awareness of these requirements.
All such individuals must agree to notify the university within five days
if they are convicted of any drug statute violation occurring in a university
workplace or residence facility. Graduate assistants shall be the responsibility
of the Office of Faculty Research and Development. In the case of students
receiving financial aid, the notification shall be the responsibility
of the Financial Aid Office. Persons receiving federal funds shall report
convictions to the appropriate office as indicated above. These university
offices shall report to the granting agency within ten days any convictions
reported to them.

activities must not be associated with otherwise existing campus events
or programs without the prior knowledge and consent of appropriate institutional
officials.

availability of promotional materials must be determined in consultation
with the Vice President of Student Affairs or designee.

marketing programs must have educational value and subscribe to the philosophy
of responsible and legal use of the products presented.
Alcoholic beverage
marketers must support campus alcohol awareness programs that encourage
informed and responsible decisions about the use or non-use of beer, wine,
and distilled spirits.
If permitted,
alcoholic beverage advertising on campus or in institutional media, including
that which promotes events as well as product advertising, must not portray
drinking as a solution to personal or academic problems of students or
as necessary to social, sexual, or academic success.
Advertising
and other promotional campus activities must not associate alcoholic beverage
consumption with the performance of tasks that require skilled reactions
such as the operation of motor vehicles or machinery.
