As a recipient of federal grants, the District must adopt a program toward accomplishing this goal. The Federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-226) requires federal contractors and grantees to certify that they will provide a drug-free school. The Maricopa Community College District fully supports disciplinary action for misconduct and the enforcement of state laws governing the use of alcohol and the use, abuse, possession or distribution of controlled substances or illegal drugs. Student Program to Prevent Illicit Use of Drugs and Abuse of Alcohol This mission closely aligns with the Drug-Free School and Communities Act of 1989, and other relevant substance abuse laws.
Part of the educational mission of the Maricopa Community Colleges is to educate students about positive self-development, the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and the health risks associated with substance abuse. Maricopa Community Colleges recognized drug and alcohol abuse as an illness and a major health problem as well as a potential safety and security issue. Students who experiment with drugs, alcohol, and illegal substances or use them recreationally may develop a pattern of use that leads to abuse and addiction. Annual Acknowledgements for students and employees are provided through the online messaging accounts. Therefore, as an education providing institution, we are responsible to provide knowledge and guidelines about prevention, control, and treatment of the abuse/misuse of alcohol, illegal and legal drug uses and misuses. The insidious effects of the abuse of these agents are also felt by all walks of life and economic levels. See also the Auxiliary Services section for Tobacco-Free Environment and the Appendices/Student Section Medical Marijuana Act of the Administrative Regulations.ĭrug abuse and misuse has become a national issue and is receiving national attention, particularly in the academic community.
