Any person in a salaried, hourly, adjunct or clinical position defined in PPM 3-2 or 3-2a.

III. POLICY

Weber State University prohibits the possession, distribution, sale, manufacture or consumption of alcoholic beverages on the University campus except as permitted by PPM 5-25d. Furthermore, Weber State University prohibits the unauthorized possession, distribution, sale, manufacture or consumption of alcoholic beverages at any off-campus, University-sponsored activity.

IV. SANCTIONS

The institution may impose sanctions on employees who violate this policy as outlined in PPM 3-33, Discipline; PPM Section 9, Academic Freedom, Rights, Responsibilities and Due Process; and PPM 6-10a, Student Alcohol and Drugs.

V. POLICY OF NONDISCRIMINATION

While Weber State University intends to enforce this alcohol policy, the University will not punish or otherwise take negative actions toward an employee on the basis of the individual's alcohol dependency status per se. Weber State University encourages its employees to report alcohol dependency. After such voluntary reporting, the University will make a good faith effort to assist the individual to overcome his/her dependency at his/her own expense.

The University will reasonably accommodate employees who are attempting to treat their alcohol dependency but reserves the right to maintain acceptable job standards and behavior of all employees regardless of their dependency status.
