Policy
MacMurray College strictly prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance on College premises, in vehicles provided by MacMurray College, at any work site or location at which College duties are being performed by MacMurray College faculty, students, staff and administrators, or as part of any other MacMurray College activities. MacMurray College complies with the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 [collectively, the “Acts”]. MacMurray College subscribes to and endorses an alcohol and drug policy founded on the principle of freedom with responsibility.

The institution will strive to provide an educational environment conducive to making conscientious and healthy decisions when individuals are faced with difficult choices associated with the use of alcohol and legal and illegal drugs.
Individual Responsibility
Members of the College community are individually responsible for being aware of applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and institutional policy and for complying with them. Consistent with federal, state and local laws individuals employed by the College who violate any portion of the above rule will be disciplined according to the severity of the violation. An employee convicted under a criminal drug statue must report that conviction to his/her immediate supervisor within five days of the conviction. The supervisor must immediately report the conviction to Human Resources. Failure to report such a conviction will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
College Responsibility
The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (Pub. L. No. 100-690, 5151-5160) requires applicants for federally funded grants and contracts to certify that they will institute affirmative steps to prohibit the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession, and use of controlled substances in the workplace. Controlled substances can be identified as narcotics, depressants, stimulants, and other drugs having abuse potential. False certification or violation of the certification shall be grounds for suspension of payments, suspension or termination of grants, or government-wide suspension or debarment. Violations of this policy may lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination and referral for prosecution by the appropriate law enforcement agency.

MacMurray College Policies as Listed in The Maggie
Alcohol / Illegal Drugs
Following is the statement regarding alcohol and illegal drugs from the United Methodist Social Principles Document (1984):
We affirm our long-standing support of abstinence from alcohol as a faithful witness to God’s liberating and redeeming love for persons. We also recommend abstinence from the use of marijuana and any illegal drugs. As the use of alcohol ... is a major factor in both disease and death, we support educational programs encouraging abstinence from such use.
The College is committed to fostering an environment which encourages good citizenship and a corresponding respect for state and local laws, as well as for institutional regulations. This philosophy is particularly applicable to the use of alcohol/illegal drugs by MacMurray students.
Alcohol – MacMurray students who are younger than Illinois’ legal drinking age of 21 are prohibited from possessing (includes closed containers) or consuming alcoholic beverages on College property. Students who are at least 21 years of age may consume alcoholic beverages only in the privacy of the residence hall rooms with the door closed. Students under the age of 21 may not be present. All students who are in a room where alcohol is present and there are underage students will be subject to disciplinary action. The question of who is consuming alcohol is irrelevant in cases where both alcohol and underage students are present. Kegs, party balls, and jugs are prohibited whether open or closed, and are subject to confiscation.
Behavior which interferes with the rights of any other member of the campus community, especially other residents, and which is precipitated by or includes the use of alcoholic beverages will result in disciplinary action. This includes but is not limited to: loud parties, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, public drunkenness, rude conduct toward College employees or other residents, and providing alcohol to minors. To help deter abusive drinking behavior, no more than 10 persons are allowed in a room or suite where alcoholic beverages are being served. College sanctions involving underage students and alcohol are considered more severe and include confiscation. Should a question of “who” is in possession of alcohol arise, the resident(s) of a room in which a violation occurs will be assumed to have principal responsibility even though he/she might not be present when the offense is discovered.
It will be standard procedure for RAs and/or RDs to check all students' cups and/or glasses for alcoholic beverages when the cup and/or glass is carried outside of the resident’s room (i.e. lounge, hallways, restrooms, etc.). This is not intended as an infringement on the rights of students but rather a means by which a positive environment is fostered for all students. Any alcohol brought into a building must be in a brown paper bag or covered container.
Illegal Drugs – The illegal use of drugs is a Level III disciplinary offense and the possession of drug paraphernalia by MacMurray students is a Level II offense and is not condoned. The College cooperates fully with local law enforcement agencies, and is prepared to pursue prosecution in cases which suggest drugs and drug dealing.
As with questions regarding “who” is in possession of drugs, room residents bear the same responsibility in the determination of “who” possesses alcohol. Effective August 15, 1997, the School Reporting of Drug Violations Act became law. The act reads as follows:
“S.H. A. 105 ILCS 127/ 2
2. DUTY OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. It is the duty of the principal of a public elementary or secondary school, or his or her designee, and the chief administrative officer of a private elementary or secondary school or a public or private community college, college, or university, or his or her designee, to report to the municipal police department or office of the county sheriff of the municipality or county where the school is located violations of Section 5.2 of the Cannabis Control Act and violations of Section 401 and subsection (b) of Section 407 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act occurring in a school, on the real property comprising any school, on a public way within 1,000 feet of a school, or in any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by a school to transport students to or from a school or a school related activity within 48 hours of becoming aware of the incident.”
In response, as required by the law, MacMurray College will report all drug violations to the Jacksonville Police Department within 48 hours of the reporting of any drug-related incident.
Substance Abuse Education
Substance abuse education programs are presented periodically to provide valuable information and assist students to make informed choices. Counseling referrals are also utilized by the College in its efforts to promote student welfare on campus.
Discipline
Standards of Conduct Pertaining to Alcohol/Other Drugs
It is the intent of the College to establish a climate conducive to the assumption of responsible conduct by students and the assurance of regard for the rights and welfare of others. The regulations set forth herein are generally intended to ensure the College’s ability to meet its educational objectives.
Specific examples of misconduct for which students may be subject to disciplinary action include, but are not limited to the following:
- Possession or use of weapons, firearms, fireworks, explosives, or flammable material.
- The possession, use, or distribution of narcotics, hallucinogenic drugs, or other controlled substances, including drug paraphernalia.
- Use or possession of any alcoholic beverages by persons under age 21.

MacMurray College complies with the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of l989 (collectively, the “Acts”). MacMurray College subscribes to and endorses an alcohol and drug policy founded on the principle of freedom with responsibility. The College is dedicated not only to learning and the advancement of knowledge, but also to the development of ethically sensitive and responsible persons. The institution will strive to provide an educational environment conducive to making conscientious and healthy decisions when individuals are faced with difficult choices associated with the use of alcohol and legal and illegal drugs.
Individual Responsibility
Members of the College community are individually responsible for being aware of applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and institutional policy and for complying with them. Consistent with federal, state, and local laws individuals employed by the college who violate any portion of the above rule will be disciplined according to the severity of the violation.
An employee convicted under a criminal drug statue must report the conviction to his/her immediate supervisor within five days of the conviction. The supervisor must immediately report the conviction to Human Resources. Failure to report such a conviction will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
