CAMPUS SAFETY AND SECURITY “A Shared Responsibility” Campus Safety and Security at Augustana University is a shared responsibility. Clearly, the best protection against campus crime is an aware, informed, alert campus community – students, faculty and staff who use reason and caution – along with a strong security presence. The vast majority of our students, faculty, staff and visitors do not experience crime while at Augustana University. However, despite our best efforts, crimes sometimes occur. This information is provided because of our commitment to campus safety and in compliance with the federal law, The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (The Clery Act). It is meant to be useful to you. If you have concerns, questions or comments about federal law requirements or Augustana University’s compliance with these laws, please contact the Director of Campus Safety at 605.274.4499.

Campus Safety officers receive training when hired and are encouraged to continue their professional development throughout the year. Campus Safety officers are not only responsible for enforcement issues on campus but also work to address other public safety concerns to include fire safety and emergency medical services. Training opportunities include classes sponsored by the Sioux Falls Police Department, South Dakota Law Enforcement Training Commission, International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) and various other law enforcement, emergency services and leadership seminars. The Department of Campus Safety meets as a full staff for training and department related topics once a month. Preparations to include proper training are a vital part of maintaining a safe campus community. The Director of Campus Safety serves as the law enforcement liaison with city, state and federal law enforcement officials, neighborhood watch groups, community and civic organizations and other security professionals in our community. Department of Campus Safety officers respond to all reports of criminal activity on the Augustana University campus. When an arrest or additional investigation is required the Sioux Falls Police Department becomes the primary agency. Campus Safety officers will conduct an on-campus investigation and will provide all information developed to the primary investigating agency for review and potential criminal charges.
DISPATCH AND SECURITY CENTER The Department of Campus Safety maintains a 24 a day, 365 days a year Dispatch and Security Center that uses modern technology to keep abreast of activities on campus.

SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY IN SOUTH DAKOTA The South Dakota Sex Offender Registry is maintained by the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation. The website offers several methods to which individuals can search the registry. In addition, the website also provides answers to questions such as who has to register, when does an offender has to re-register, and what other actions would require an offender to update their registry information. The purpose of the registry is to inform the general public about the identity, location and appearance of sex offenders who live, work, or study in South Dakota. The registry, as well as detailed information about South Dakota’s laws governing the Sex Offender Registry, is available at www.sor.sd.gov. 5
TIMELY WARNINGS When the Department of Campus Safety becomes aware of criminal incidents that, in the judgment of the University’s senior leadership, constitute an ongoing or continuing threat to the campus community, the Department of Campus Safety issues a Crime Alert to notify the campus community. Depending on the particular circumstances, a timely warning will be issued by the Department of Campus Safety and the information may be disseminated by using one or a combination of the following: e-mail distribution; posters; and/or activation of the Augustana University Emergency Notification System (ENS) to advise the campus community of the situation.
VIKING ALERTS - EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM The Viking Alerts system is multi-modal, emergency notification system that enables the University to quickly notify the campus community of critical information during a major emergency. Currently, the University can notify all Augustana University faculty, staff and students via personal electronic devices (e.g.cell phones, pda handhelds, etc.) through text messaging, land line phone and e-mail. When a major emergency occurs that impacts the campus community, the University will use the Viking Alerts system to provide current and continuous updates acting as a central reference point for accurate information. This information is useful for those both on– and off-campus. The Viking Alerts system will be used for two types of notifications. The first type would be to announce the status of the campus during inclement weather. In the event the campus must close due to dangerous weather conditions, the Viking Alerts system will be used as one method to notify the campus community not to venture outside. The second type is for serious emergencies which are confirmed by emergency personnel and with the approval of the University’s senior leadership. Once it is determined to use the Viking Alerts system, the proper message is selected and sent to the appropriate audience. A Viking Alert can only be sent by one of several initiators who are trained by the Department of Campus Safety. Furthermore, the Viking Alerts system is tested annually to ensure all faculty, staff and students are familiar with emergency alerts and what their individual roles are during an actual situation. All faculty, staff and students phone number and email will be automatically loaded in to the Viking Alerts system. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to verify this information through their portal at my.augie.edu. The system is only as good as the information provided by faculty, staff and students. The information provided is not shared with other entities and will be kept private and confidential for use only during emergency situations.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS Emergency preparedness at Augustana University is managed by the Department of Campus Safety. Emergency preparedness means to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from any and all emergencies that could affect Augustana University and the surrounding campus community. It means having a comprehensive plan extending from all levels of emergency personnel down through the individuals that make up our community to prevent situations that cause emergencies; it means preparing people on the procedures to follow should a crisis occur; it means having a well collaborated response approach from University officials to City, State and Federal agencies to effectively mitigate any crisis; and finally it means being ready and able to recover quickly from emergency events to keep the mission of Augustana University actively moving forward.

MISSING PERSONS If a member of the Augustana University community has reason to believe that a student is missing, whether or not the student resides in campus housing, all possible efforts are made to locate the student to determine their state of health and well-being through the collaboration of the Dean of Student’s Office and the Department of Campus Safety. If the student lives in university housing, the Department of Campus Safety will secure authorization from the Dean of Student’s Office to make a welfare entry into the student’s room. If the student lives off-campus, the Department of Campus Safety will informally enlist the aid of the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction. University officials will attempt to determine the student’s whereabouts through contact with friends, associates, faculty, and/or employers of the student. Whether or not the student has been attending classes, labs, recitals, and scheduled organizational or academic meetings; or appearing for scheduled work shifts will be established. If located, verification of the students’ state of health and intention to return to the University is made. When and where appropriate, a referral will be made to Student Health and Counseling Services. If not located, notification of the student’s family within 24 hours of receiving the initial report is made to determine if they know of the whereabouts of the student. If the student lives off-campus, appropriate family members or associates are encouraged to make an official missing person report to the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction. The Department of Campus Safety will cooperate, aid, and assist the primary investigative agency in all ways possible. In addition to the primary investigative agency, the Department of Campus Safety will also open an official investigation. Upon closure of the missing person investigation, all parties previously contacted will be advised of the status of the case.
ON-CAMPUS HOUSING Augustana University offers a variety of housing options on campus to include traditional residence halls, theme houses and apartments. The seven traditional residence halls are located on the main portion of the campus. The majority of the theme houses are located directly across from the main campus with one being located within on block of the campus. The majority of the apartment buildings are also located directly across from the campus. The Department of Campus Safety patrols the surrounding neighborhood that includes the University owned housing facilities located off the main campus. Campus Safety Officers conduct regular checks of these facilities and the parking lots. The Department of Campus Safety works closely with Residence Life to assist with issues that main arise inside residential buildings. The Department of Campus Safety also has regular contact with the Department of Facilities and Grounds to ensure shrubs, bushes and greenery throughout the campus are appropriate and well maintained and that lighting on and near campus is appropriate.

CRIME PREVENTION EDUCATION AND AWARENESS The Department of Campus Safety provides services and sponsors seminars, forums and other presentations on campus safety and security to those living and working in the campus community. These services and programs include: A personal protection escort service is available to faculty, staff and students 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Escorts are not to be used for convenience purposes such as it being too cold outside or you are running late for a class. The primary goal of the escort service is to enable students, faculty and staff to travel from point to point on campus and in the defined campus neighborhood with a greater sense of security. Requests for an escort can be made in the following ways: • Ask any Campus Safety Officer on patrol or inside a building. • Call the Department of Campus Safety at 605.274.4014. • Use one of the many building phones or call boxes located on campus.

These services include: Vehicle Jumpstarts: Faculty, staff and students who find their vehicle battery needs a jumpstart can call the Department of Campus Safety for assistance. Officers carry a portable battery jumpstart kit in each patrol vehicle. Requests for a jumpstart can be made 24 hours a day.

PARKING The Augustana University campus is centrally located in Sioux Falls within walking or biking distance of banks, grocery stores, restaurants, and other common destinations. Sioux Area Metro (SAM) transit system also has a bus stop located on campus near the intersection of Grange Ave. and Commons Drive. So while having a car can be helpful for getting around, it isn’t necessary to get places. Parking on campus requires a permit with some visitor parking available. Students who wish to park a vehicle on campus must purchase a parking permit from the parking office located in the Nelson Service Center. Residential parking permit requests are only handled at the beginning of each semester as the allotted permits are sold out quickly. Permits are issued on a first come, first serve basis. Unfortunately there is not enough parking for every student to park a car on campus. Students who do not purchase a permit or are not awarded a permit must find off-campus parking to include parking on the surrounding city streets. Incoming students have the option of requesting a permit for the parking lot adjacent to their residence hall or requesting a permit for the Kirkeby-Over Stadium parking lot. Parking permits can be purchased by stopping at the parking office located in the Nelson Service Center or by requesting a parking permit online within the student portal under the Incoming Students tab (choose Permit Parking Request within Billing Statement ). The Department of Campus Safety enforces all parking regulations on campus property. The City of Sioux Falls enforces all parking ordinances related to city street parking. Both the Department of Campus Safety and Sioux Falls Police Department enforce city ordinance parking violations on campus (i.e. parking in a fire lane, handicapped parking violations). When parking on streets surrounding the campus you must check for parking signage that provides time frames for parking in that specific area. Some streets surrounding the campus have two hour limits which require cars to be moved every two hours or be subject to ticketing and towing. City ordinance also requires vehicles on any city street be moved every 24 hours. A vehicle parked in the same place for more than 24 hours will be considered abandoned and subject to ticketing and towing. Parking citations issued by the City of Sioux Falls are yellow in color and payment must be made to the City of Sioux Falls. For questions or concerns about city street parking you may contact City of Sioux Falls Public Parking at 605.367.7024. Parking citations issued by the Department of Campus Safety are also yellow in color and in the case of a faculty member, staff or student the citation will be billed to your campus account. Questions or concerns about parking can be referred to the Department of Campus Safety at 605.274.4014. The Department of Campus Safety works closely with the student senate of the Augustana Student Association (ASA) to address parking questions and concerns from the student body. The president of ASA appoints a parking appeal board each academic year that consists of three to four students. The parking appeal board meets on a regular basis and reviews the parking appeals filed by students. The parking appeal board has the authority to dismiss the ticket, require full payment or cut the fine in half.

DAILY CRIME AND FIRE LOG The Department of Campus Safety maintains a combined Daily Crime and Fire Log of all incidents reported to the Department of Campus Safety. This includes all crimes, fire-related incidents and other incidents that occur on campus, including areas jointly patrolled by the Department of Campus Safety and the Sioux Falls Police Department, in non-campus buildings or properties, on public property or within the Campus Safety Patrol Zone. The Daily Crime and Fire Log includes the incident type, date incident is reported, date and time of occurrence, and general location of each reported incident type. The Daily Log can be found on the Campus Safety website or by stopping by the Department of Campus Safety and viewing the log.
ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY REPORT The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requires two (2) new safety-related requirements on institutions that participate in federal student financial aid programs which follow: 1. Fire Log: Institutions must keep a fire log that states the nature of the fire, date, time, and general location of each fire in on-campus student housing facilities. Augustana University complies with this rule by including all fire-related incidents in the Daily Crime and Fire Log. 2. Annual Fire Safety Report: Institutions with on-campus student housing facilities must publish annually a fire safety report that provides information on campus fire safety practices and standards. Augustana University complies with this regulation by including all fire-related incidents at on-campus student housing facilities as part of the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. Information contained in this annual fire safety report includes: number and cause of fires at all on-campus student housing facilities; number of fire-related deaths; related injuries; value of fire-related property damage; information on evacuation procedures; fire safety education and training programs; fire safety systems in each student housing facility; number of regular mandatory supervised fire drills; and policies on portable electrical appliance, smoking and open flames. The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report must include three (3) years of data.* *Revisions to the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) for Fire Safety and reporting were proposed in 2008. Therefore, only one year of data is currently available.” If a fire occurs in any building, community members should immediately notify Campus Safety by dialing 4014 from a campus phone or 605.274.4014 from any cell phone. Campus Safety will initiate a response as the department by Sioux Falls Fire Rescue. If a member of the Augustana University community finds evidence of a fire that has been extinguished, and the person is not sure whether Campus Safety has already responded, the community member should immediately notify Campus Safety to investigate and document the incident. The campus fire alarm systems alert community members of potential hazards. Community members are required to heed an activated fire alarm system, and evacuate a building immediately. Use the nearest available exit to evacuate the building. Gather outside at a safe point that does not obstruct responding emergency vehicles and personnel. When a fire alarm is activated, do not use the elevators. Occupants should use the stairs to evacuate the building. If you are caught in the elevator, use the emergency phone found in the elevator. A emergency contact list is maintained in each elevator near the phone.
Fire Protection Equipment/Systems All residential buildings are equipped with automatic fire detection and alarm systems which are monitored by the Department of Campus Safety, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
13
Health and Safety Inspections The Department of Campus Safety assists the Residence Life Staff while performing residential inspections at midyear, usually during a break. Residents are notified beforehand of the inspection process. The inspections are conducted to identify safety violations as well as conditions which may be detrimental to the health or well being of the wider residential community. The inspections include a visual examination of electrical cords, sprinkler heads, smoke detectors and other life safety systems. In addition, each room is examined for the presence of prohibited items such as candles, halogen lamps, open coiled appliances, pets, etc. Rooms are also examined for evidence of prohibited activity such as smoking in the room, removal of door closers, unauthorized door locking or alarm mechanisms, removal of security screens or other equipment, tampering with life safety equipment, etc. This inspection also includes a general assessment of cleanliness of the room, including food and waste storage. Conditions warranting follow up are reported to the Dean of Students Office and Residence Life staff. The Residence Life staff is expected to communicate with those residents, apply sanctions which can range from fines to expulsion from housing; and to document such follow up. The resident’s signature on the Housing Contract, required in order to take occupancy, signifies their acceptance of and responsibility for abiding by residential and University policies as provided through all printed publications, web sites, email and other vehicles. Per the agreement, Residence Life staff may enter any room at any time for the purposes of inspection, establishment of order, maintenance, extermination, inventory correction, cleaning, or in case of emergency or other reasonable purposes.

Emergency Evacuation Drills (formerly known as Fire Drills): The number of supervised scheduled drills or actual events at campus residence halls that are facilitated and certified by the Department of Campus Safety in cooperation with assigned University building personnel. Various drills are conducted throughout the year to familiarize students, faculty and staff with emergency procedures and individual roles. Each year the Department of Campus Safety facilitates four (4) emergency drills targeting all residential halls. All academic and administrative buildings undergo one (1) emergency drill each year. All students and guests are expected to respond appropriately whenever a fire alarm is sounded. Each person is expected to observe the fire safety guidelines. Whenever an alarm sounds: 1) leave lights on in the room; 2) close and lock the door; 3) all individuals must leave the building using the nearest exit; 4) remain outside until the staff gives the all-clear. Students who fail to leave the building during a drill are fined and the incident is turned over to the campus judicial system.
Fire Policies for On-Campus Student Housing Facilities 1. Portable Electrical Appliances: Hot plates, halogen lamps, immersion coils, air conditioners, microwaves, and open-coil appliances are prohibited in University residences as they pose a threat of electrical overload and/or fire. Space heaters may only be used when installed by Facilities. Computers, stereos, televisions, radios, irons, non-commercial hairdryers, and other similar appliances are permitted, unless specifically prohibited by the residence life staff. All appliances must have a manufacturer’s label that show the electrical ratings and listing by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (e.g., ETL, UL, etc). We strongly recommend the use of surge protectors(s). Microfridges may be rented from the Housing Office; see the Housing website for contact information. No more than one refrigerator may be installed per room or apartment, not including those provided by the University. Caution should be taken to prevent fire hazards resulting from excessive use of appliances and over-dependence on power strips and extension cords. Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc., (generally anything utilizing a wick or flame or consuming flammable material, including such things as decorative candles, potpourri simmer pots, and terno cans), are NOT allowed in residence hall rooms, University owned apartments or houses. Storage of volatile materials or other flammables (e.g., gasoline) is likewise not permitted. 2. Smoking: Smoking, including hookahs and other smoking paraphernalia, is prohibited in all residential buildings, and outdoors within 20 feet of windows and doors. 3. Open Flames: Fire or smoke producing articles, such as Bunsen burners, portable stoves, kerosene lamps, cut trees, incense and candles are prohibited in residence. Possession of hibachi, barbecue grills, smokers, potpourri burning units or other fire-starting devices/ substances is prohibited in residences, as is their use in residential areas or adjacent outdoor space without supervision. 4. Fire Safety Equipment: Fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors, sprinklers, and other fire and safety equipment are placed in the halls for the safety of the residents in the building. Misuse of fire and safety equipment is a serious violation of both city and University codes.
Fire Safety Improvements and Upgrades Augustana University continually reviews the fire systems in our residential facilities and has established a plan to upgrade older systems over a period of time. These upgrades, repairs or revisions are address when a problem has been identified.

CODE OF CONDUCT Augustana University’s code of conduct is committed to fostering a campus environment that promotes informed citizenship, respect for human community and fairness. Every student bears responsibility for their conduct and to assume reasonable responsibility for the behavior of others. The Code of Conduct process at Augustana protects the interest of the community and challenges those behaviors that are not in accordance with university policies. Sanctions (resolutions and remedies) are intended to challenge students’ moral and ethical decision making and to help bring their behaviors into accord with the University’s expectations. Augustana strives to respond to all reports of violations in a prompt manner with an emphasis on non-adversarial resolution, reasonable determination of consequences, and meaningful implementation of remedies.
Policies, Standards and Rules The following statements of policy, standards and rules define inappropriate conduct for the Augustana University community. These behavioral expectations apply to all students, whether undergraduate, or graduate. Augustana encourages all members of the community to report incidents that violate the Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct applies to behaviors that take place on the campus, at university-sponsored events and may also apply off-campus and to actions online when the off-campus conduct affects a substantial university interest. Alcoholic Beverages. The possession and use of alcoholic beverages on campus and at university sponsored functions is prohibited, except in designated university-owned houses and apartments when students are 21 years of age or older. This alcoholic beverage policy defines the following actions as violations: 1. Intoxication and other alcohol-related behavior is not condoned. 2. Alcoholic beverage paraphernalia such as beer bongs used for drinking contests are prohibited. 3. The possession of alcoholic beverage containers, either full or empty, is taken as a presumption of use and possession and is considered a policy violation. 4. Students are accountable for a violation, even if they do not have actual possession of alcohol, when they are present in a specific location such as a residence hall room where alcoholic beverage containers are present. 5. Advertising of which the primary purpose is to promote the use of alcoholic beverages is not permitted. 6. Student organization funds may not be used for the purchase of alcohol or the sponsorship of an event where alcohol is available. The University is committed to preventing alcohol abuse and the unlawful possession, use, and distribution of alcoholic beverages. In compliance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-226), information concerning applicable laws and consequences pertaining to the unlawful possession, use, and distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol is made available each year. It is unlawful in the State of South Dakota for persons under the age of 21 to possess or consume alcoholic beverages. It is also illegal to sell or distribute alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21. Augustana’s annual safety and security report contains an overview of policies and program, a summary of state and federal laws, and consequences that may be imposed for illegal conduct. A copy of this publication is distributed by the Dean of Students Office and Department of Campus Safety. Assault is any conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of a person by acts that are painful, injurious, intimidating, insulting or offensive. This includes any willful attempt or threat to inflict physical or emotional harm, with an apparent ability to commit the act. Bullying and cyber-bullying is a repeated and/or severe aggressive behavior likely to intimidate or intentionally hurt, control or diminish another person, physically or emotionally. Computer Use Policy (Responsible Use of Technology Resources). The use of technology resources provided by Augustana University is a privilege made available to students, faculty, staff and approved guests of the University to facilitate and enhance their work, teaching, learning and scholarly research. These resources include universityowned hardware, software, accompanying network resources, and technology support personnel. The University strives to direct its efforts to the enhancement of technology resources and not the policing of the use of those resources. 17
Email - Augustana uses university-issued email accounts as a primary form of communicating with students, faculty and staff. It is expected that all students, faculty and staff will check their university assigned email regularly. Violations of this policy may result in the loss of technology privileges and if actions are determined to violate state or federal law, persons may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, knowingly furnishing false information to university officials, forgery, and misuse of university documents or instruments of identification with intent to defraud. Disorderly, indecent and obscene conduct is prohibited on university-owned and/or controlled property, and at university-sponsored activities. Disruptive conduct is any action that intentionally obstructs teaching, research, administration, disciplinary procedures, freedom of movement, and other lawful activities on the campus and at university-sponsored events. Augustana University will not permit any individual or group from inside or outside the campus to violate the personal or civil rights of others or to obstruct the normal life and functions of the University through the use of force, violence, or obstructive behavior. The University believes that violence in any form, in any measure, under any circumstances, is an intolerable and an illegitimate means of expression. Drugs. The University prohibits the use, possession, distribution, or sale of drugs (i.e. narcotics, stimulants, depressants and hallucinogens) which are illegal except when prescribed by a physician. The possession of drugrelated paraphernalia such as bongs and pipes are a violation of South Dakota law and is prohibited. This policy is in accordance with state and federal laws including the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989. A violation of this policy is also subject to state and federal laws and will be referred to law enforcement officials. Medical Amnesty – The University believes that the importance of seeking medical assistance when faced with an alcohol or drug related emergency far outweighs the consequences of a university policy violation. No student seeking medical assistance for themselves or for another will be subject to disciplinary action for the sole violation of an alcohol or other drug violation provided the student acts in good faith and cooperates with university officials. Failure to comply with directives of university officials (or designates) or law enforcement officials acting in the performance of their duties. Fire Safety. The University identifies the following as acts with potential to threaten the safety of others. This policy is also subject to city and state fire codes and violations may be referred to local authorities. 1. Tampering with fire safety equipment such as extinguishers, smoke detectors, alarms and building fire exits. 2. Fireworks – the possession and/or discharge of fireworks. 3. Candles, the burning of incense and other acts involving an open flame in university-owned/operated housing facilities. Harassment constitutes a form of discrimination that may be created by oral, written, graphic, or physical conduct that interferes with, limits or denies the ability of an individual to participate in or benefit from universitysponsored programs, activities, or opportunities. Hazing is an act likely to cause physical or psychological harm or social ostracism, when related to the initiation, pledging, joining, or any other group-affiliation activity on the basis of actual or perceived membership. Intimidation is an implied threat or act that causes an unreasonable fear of harm in another. Retaliation includes intimidation, threats, or harassment against any person reporting a student conduct incident and/or cooperating in the investigation of an incident including witnesses. Standard of Proof All decisions are made on the basis of a preponderance of evidence standard (i.e., whether it is more likely than not that the accused individual committed the alleged violation). Stalking is defined as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that is unwelcome and would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.
18
Theft from, damage to, or malicious misuse of university-owned or controlled property or the property of any member or guest of the University community is prohibited. Unauthorized entry into or exit from university owned or controlled facilities by unauthorized persons. Weapons. Firearms, air guns, sling shots, bows, knives with blades over 6 inches in length, etc. are prohibited on university property and at university-sponsored activities in off-campus settings. A storage locker is provided for the storage of hunting weapons in the Campus Safety Office.
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS: POLICY, PROCEDURES AND SUPPORT Augustana University recognizes the serious problems related to the abuse of alcohol and the illicit use of drugs in our society today. In response to this concern, the University is committed to a campus environment that reflects a desire to address alcohol and drug related behaviors for the purpose of providing a healthy, safe, and secure place to live, work, and study. The University acknowledges and supports local, state, and federal laws pertaining to alcohol abuse and the illicit use of drugs. In particular, the University is guided by the federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-226.) This legislation mandates that Augustana will: • Establish policies that prohibit drug use and alcohol abuse. • Create a program of strategies to address drug, alcohol, and tobacco problems on the campus and conduct periodic reviews of these strategies. • Cooperate with local law enforcement officials to ensure that laws on alcohol and drugs are enforced fairly and consistently.
Alcohol and Drug Policies Alcoholic Beverage Policy The possession and use of alcoholic beverages on campus and at university sponsored functions is prohibited, except in designated university-owned houses and apartments when students are 21 years of age or older. This policy includes the following provisions: • Intoxication and other alcohol-related behaviors are not condoned. • Alcoholic beverage paraphernalia such as beer bongs used for drinking contest are prohibited. • The possession of alcoholic beverage containers, either full or empty, is taken as a presumption of use and possession and is considered a policy violation. • Students are held accountable, even if they do not have actual possession of alcohol, when they are present in a specific location such as a residence hall room where alcoholic beverage containers are present. • Advertising of which the primary purpose is to promote the use of alcohol is not permitted. • Student organization funds may not be used for the purchase of alcohol or for the sponsorship of an event where alcohol is available. • Guidelines to determine disciplinary responses for students who violate the alcohol policy are published in the student handbook. Judicial system consequences emphasize personal responsibility and accountability to other members of the campus community. Most disciplinary situations are addressed by administrative staff via informal hearings. • Augustana University seeks to reduce barriers to obtaining emergency assistance because alcohol- and drug-related emergencies are potentially life threatening. In cases of dangerous intoxication and/or alcohol poisoning, it is imperative that medical assistance be summoned. The University believes that a call for medical assistance when faced with an alcohol- or drug-related emergency far outweighs the consequences of a university policy violation and therefore, no student seeking medical assistance for themselves or another will be subject to university discipline for the sole violation of using or possessing alcoholic beverages. However, the University may mandate education in order to reduce the likelihood of future occurrences. Drug Policy The University prohibits the use, possession, distribution, or sale of drugs (i.e. hallucinogens, narcotics, stimulants, and depressants) which are illegal except when prescribed by a physician. The possession of drug-related paraphernalia such as bongs and pipes are a violation of South Dakota law and are prohibited. This policy is in accordance with state and federal laws including the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989. Most violations of this policy are referred to a law enforcement agency in accordance with civil and criminal law. 19
Augustana University’s policy on drugs has a primary concern for the health and safety of students. In cases of a drug-related overdose, intoxication and/or poisoning, individuals are encouraged to call for medical assistance for themselves or for a friend/ acquaintance who is in danger. No student seeking emergency medical treatment for themselves or for another will be subject to university discipline for the sole violation of using or possessing alcohol or drugs. Health Risks Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgement and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters to becoming alcoholics. Support Students: For additional information regarding health, counseling and treatment resources, contact Health and Counseling Services (605.274.5552) or the Dean of Students Office (605.274.4124); for information about the University’s policies on alcohol and other drugs, contact the Dean of Students Office. Faculty and Staff: For additional information regarding health, counseling and treatment resources including information about the University’s Employee Assistance Program, contact Human Resources (605.274.4110). Parent Notification Policy Parents or guardians of students under the age of 21 may be notified if their son/daughter violates the University’s drug policy and those alcohol-related violations that result in an assessment for chemical dependency, probation, or a more severe sanction, as permitted under FERPA regulations. Local, State and Federal Laws Criminal proceedings and consequences may interrupt university enrollment for an academic term or longer. Convictions for drug or alcohol related crimes may also result in a permanent criminal record which can affect academic study, financial aid eligibility and future employment opportunities.
