SIUE Alcohol Notification and Violence
Disclosure Protocol
Legal Authority HR 6, The Higher Education
Reauthorization Act of 1998, as amended, permits institutions of higher
education to disclose to parents or legal guardians of a student under the age
of 21 years information regarding the violation of any Federal, State, or local
law, institutional disciplinary rule or policy regarding the use or possession
of alcohol or a controlled substance. Further, the Act permits institutions of
higher education to disclose limited information from disciplinary records of
students who have admitted or been found guilty of a crime of violence where
the records directly relate to such misconduct.
Alcohol and Controlled Substance Parental Notification
Recognizing that the provisions of the, The Higher Education Reauthorization
Act of 1998 are permissive rather than compulsory, Southern Illinois University
Edwardsville will notify the parents of students under the age of 21 years
regarding the violations of any Federal, State, or local law or University
disciplinary rules or policies pertaining to the use or possession of alcohol
or a controlled substance in the following circumstances:
- In cases of repeated violations of campus disciplinary rules
regarding the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance.
- In cases of major violations of University disciplinary rules
regarding alcohol or controlled substances which result in the student being
placed on disciplinary probation or suspension.
Exception
Students under the age of 21 years found
responsible of minor first time infractions of campus disciplinary rules
relating to the use or possession of alcohol or controlled substances will be
notified that any future infraction will result in the notification of their
parents or legal guardian. At the discretion of the Chancellor or
Chancellor’s designee, however, a parent may be notified of a
student’s first time infraction depending on the nature and circumstances
surrounding to the student's violation of University disciplinary rules.
