SPECIAL NOTICE
Florida Community College at Jacksonville — Drug Education Policy
Florida
Community College at Jacksonville is committed to providing an environment
that enhances and supports student success. The academic community,
including faculty, administrators, staff and students, has the collective
responsibility to ensure that this environment is conducive to the student's
development. The illegal use of harmful and addictive chemical substances
poses a threat to the educational environment. Thus, in accordance with
the Drug Free Schools and Communication Act Amendments of 1989, signed
by President George Bush, it is necessary to inform the College community
of the harmful and addictive potential associated with the use of drugs,
the incompatibility of illegal drugs with the educational mission of
FCCJ, and the consequences of the use, possession, manufacture or sale
of such drugs.
The FCCJ District Board of Trustees Rules outline the accepted code
of conduct for students and employees. The code, as documented in the
student handbook and the College catalog, includes the following:
| 1.
|
Any
act or behavior on the part of the student which tends to interfere
with or otherwise disturb the orderly conduct, processes, functions
and/or interests of the College is prohibited. |
| 2. |
Such
acts or behaviors may include but are not limited to the following
consumption of alcoholic beverages on campus or at a College function,
illegal use or possession of drugs or narcotics on campus or at
a College function. |
| 3. |
The
College reserves the right to suspend, terminate or retroactively
cancel the enrollment of any student for the disciplinary reasons.
The College may also make a referral to legal authorities for
appropriate action. |
A
complete set of charts outlining the penalties for federal drug trafficking
and the controlled substances involved are maintained in each campus
counseling and advising center.
As a public institution whose mission is to foster human potential,
FCCJ believes it is important to understand the health risks and other
detrimental consequences associated with drug and alcohol abuse.
The student affairs department can assist students with referral information
to appropriate community resources in a confidential, professional manner.
Counselors are available on all campuses to assist both day and evening
students in obtaining further information. All contacts relating to
substance abuse will be held in strict confidence.
