What are the sanctions for drug violations for Illinois State University?
A. Drug use is also illegal. So both legal and university sanctions may apply, based upon the frequency of the offense: First offense (possession/use) – disciplinary probation, $100 fine, an educational workshop, and a reflection paper. Second offense (possession/use) – university suspension and/or dismissal, and a $250 fine First offense (sales/distribution) – university suspension and/or dismissal, and a $250 fine First offense (covert use on another, date rape drug) – university dismissal, and a $250 fine Please be aware: students can be dismissed the first time they are found with drugs, especially those which the University considers more serious, such as cocaine, LSD, or heroine. Please be advised that these guidelines apply only to Illinois State University and the Town of Normal has their own citations and sanctions, to which the student will pay both the city fine and the university fine.
