Why does the Deans office issue educational requirements in Medical Amnesty Policy cases?
The College believes that if a student requires medical attention for an alcohol or drug related issue, we have a duty to use the situation as an opportunity to educate the student on the issues, College policy, and the law and to help the student make safer, more appropriate choices in the future. In these situations, the student has come to the attention of the College because he or she consumed so much alcohol or other substances that the situation became a medical emergency. We believe it would be irresponsible of the College not to use the situation as an opportunity for the student to learn safer alternatives and better habits for the future.
