Drug and Alcohol Free Campus
District Policy
Los Rios Community College District policy 2443 states that the District ". . . is committed to maintaining a drug and alcohol free workplace in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, and the drug and alcohol free college environment for students and employees in accordance with the requirements of the Drug-Free Schools and Community Act Amendment of 1989."
Alcohol & Drugs
Sacramento City College is committed to a drug and alcohol-free campus. The abuse of illicit drugs and alcohol disrupts classes, compromises oneีs physical and mental health, subjects people to criminal penalties, and impairs the ability to benefit from the learning experience. Therefore, the faculty, staff and administrators of Sacramento City College ask you to support the creation of a drug and alcohol-free learning environment by knowing and making others aware of college policies and the substantial health and legal consequences of abuse.
Legal Sanctions
The LRCCD Standards of Student Conduct prohibit the use, sale or possession, on campus, of any controlled substance. Students who abuse drugs or alcohol on campus, or appear at a college-sponsored function under the influence of drugs or alcohol, can be suspended, expelled and/or criminally prosecuted.
Health Consequences
Use of controlled substances can lead to memory loss, indifference to academic achievement, impaired judgment, sudden death, liver disease, psychological disorders, and brain damage. Likewise, long-term alcohol abuse can cause ulcers, gastritis, pancreatitis, liver disease, cancer, loss of coordination, heart disease, stroke, emotional distress, sexual dysfunction, and other health problems.
