ANNUAL NOTIFICATION OF WAYLAND'S DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM

Wayland Baptist University cares deeply about its students' and employees' health and well-being. As a result, Wayland Baptist University joins with Universities and Colleges across the United States in an effort to provide education about and action to prevent drug and alcohol use and abuse.  The United States Congress passed and the President signed into law the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989-Public Law 101-226 on December 12, 1989.  This Act requires an institution of higher education to certify that it has adopted and instituted a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students, faculty, and staff.
 
Out of genuine concern for your well-being, and in compliance with federal law, Wayland has developed a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program. The purpose of this communication is to make you aware of the following information related to the DAAPP:
  1. Standards of conduct that prohibit unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on University property or in connection with University activities;
  2. An institutional commitment to impose sanctions against students, faculty, and staff who violate such standards of conduct;
  3. Appropriate legal sanctions under local, state and federal law for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol;
  4. Health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and alcohol abuse;
The availability of drug and alcohol counseling, treatment, rehabilitation, and re-entry programs.
 
Wayland is committed to consistently enforcing sanctions regarding unlawful possession, use or distribution of alcohol and illicit drugs. Wayland’s Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program is evaluated every two years in order to gauge its effectiveness and in order to better serve our university community. Attached to this email you will find WBU’s annual DAAPP disclosure brochure. You can also access it online by clicking HERE. We hope that the resources included in this brochure are helpful to you, particularly if you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
