I.   SCOPE

     This establishes the University's policy on maintaining a drug-
     free workplace and drug-free school in accordance with federal
     law, and includes the sanctions that may be imposed upon
     employees and students for drug abuse violations occurring at the
     University.

II.  POLICY

     The University of Pittsburgh prohibits the unlawful manufacture,
     distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled
     substance on University property or as part of any University
     activity.  Faculty, staff, and students of the University must
     also comply with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on
     the possession and consumption of alcohol.

     Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action,
     including, but not limited to a warning, written reprimand,
     suspension (with or without pay), dismissal, expulsion, and/or
     mandatory participation and successful completion of a drug abuse
     assistance or rehabilitation program approved by an appropriate
     health or law enforcement agency.

     Any University employee paid from federally funded grants or
     contracts, or any student participating in any federally funded
     or guaranteed Student Loan Program, must notify the University of
     any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring at
     the University or while engaged in University activities.

     Under the drug-free awareness program, the University will
     distribute literature informing employees and students of the
     dangers of drug abuse, and provide information on available drug
     counseling, rehabilitation, and employee assistance programs, and
     penalties that may be imposed for violation of this policy.

     All University employees and students will be given a copy of the
     Drug-Free Workplace/Drug-Free Schools Policy annually.

     A biennial review of the University's program will be conducted
     to determine the program's effectiveness and to ensure that the
     sanctions against those who violate the policy are consistently
     enforced.

     Upon request, the Associate Vice Chancellor for Human Resources
     must provide to the Secretary of Education and members of the
     general public a copy of this policy and the results of the
     biennial review.
