University of Bridgeport Drug Abuse Prevention Standards and Resources.
Longerdyke, Allen, Comp.
This is a description of the University of Bridgeport's (UB/Connecticut) drug and alcohol abuse prevention standards and resources for students and employees. Described first are UB standards of conduct for students regarding controlled substances and alcohol. Included here are policies on the right of staff to inspect dormitory rooms, off campus incidents, open containers (areas where these are permitted and prohibited), use of alcohol at UB sponsored events (sponsorship defined, event types, alcohol not provided by sponsors, advertizing), and penalties when the policies are violated. Employee policies follow including notification rules in the event of conviction on a drug charge, risks to job performance when drugs are used and university willingness to assist those who seek treatment and counseling. A section on legal sanctions covers the appropriate portions of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Bridgeport, State of Connecticut statutes, and federal statutes and laws. The health risks related to drug abuse are detailed next. Also mentioned is the impact of substance abuse on families. Information on counseling and treatment describes possible approaches within counseling to help the person suffering from substance dependency. Available resources at UB for those seeking further information are listed with telephone numbers. (JB)
