Dear University of Oregon Student:
The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 require that all institutions of higher
education receiving any form of financial assistance provide each student with information regarding
drug and alcohol use. You are receiving this email as part of our compliance with the Act’s requirements.
In previous years, some students have confused this communication with a conduct letter. Again, we are
required by law to distribute this to all students; you are not receiving this because you have allegedly
violated a policy.
The University of Oregon cares about students’ health, safety, and academic success and has a long-
standing commitment to proactively address high-risk drinking and substance use. The illegal use and
abuse of alcohol or other drugs by students interferes with the academic learning process and places the
safety of individuals and the campus community at risk. Like many universities across the country, our
goal is to improve academic success and the quality of student life on the campus by increasing healthy
lifestyles and reducing the harm associated with alcohol and other drug abuse.
The Office of the Dean of Students
website provides a list of policies, programs, and information that is
distributed to all students, including:
1. written information regarding applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding alcohol
possession and use;
2. campus policies and standards of conduct regarding alcohol and drug use and the related
sanctions;
3. a description of health risks associated with the use of alcohol and drugs; and
4. a description of treatment and counseling programs available on campus.
I strongly encourage you to read the Drug Free Schools and Community Act document in its entirety. All
students are expected to be aware of the information contained in this document. If you have any
questions, please contact Jennifer Summers, Director of Substance Abuse Prevention and Student
Success in the Office of the Dean of Students at jsummers@uoregon.edu
or (541) 346-3216.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robin Holmes
Vice President, Division of Student Life
University of Oregon
Go Ducks!

Alcohol, Other Drugs, & the UO
At the University of Oregon, we strive to provide an excellent teaching and learning
environment while developing a campus environment that supports healthy choices for living.
Included in the choices that confront us all are decisions about the use of alcohol and other
substances. The University is concerned about the intellectual, physical, and psychological well-being of
all its students and employees.
As a result, the university is fundamentally opposed to the use of illegal
drugs and the abuse of alcohol and other harmful substances. It is the policy of the University of Oregon
to try to prevent our students and employees from injuring themselves through the use and abuse of
drugs and alcohol, and the University seeks to engage all members of its academic community in the
fight to prevent drug and alcohol abuse.
For employees of the university, the Office of Human Resources publishes a drug and alcohol policy
statement on its website, establishing the UO as a drug-free workplace. A portion of the policy clarifies
this as a condition of employment. In addition, UO employees receive a written copy of this policy
statement annually.
These pages provide students with important information about drugs, alcohol, and the university's
policies regarding these substances. Included is information on the health risks associated with abuse of
alcohol and other drugs, the kinds of help available to those with drug and alcohol related problems, the
university's policies related to drug and alcohol use, and the sanctions the institution may impose on
those who violate these policies. State and federal laws applicable to the use and abuse of alcohol and
other drugs are also presented.
The University of Oregon distinguishes its student disciplinary policies from the laws and functions of the
larger society. Students, however, are by no means insulated from the law or relieved of the
responsibilities of citizenship. When a student violates the Student Conduct Code
, the university
reserves the option of initiating disciplinary action on its own. The university may initiate disciplinary
action, referral for civil prosecution, or both in response to violations of the Student Conduct Code.
University sanctions are imposed against any student or student organization found responsible of
violating the code.
The Office of the Dean of Students
has extensive information about drug and alcohol abuse prevention,
and the policies and laws regarding the use of these substances. The Substance Abuse Prevention site
has many worthwhile links to services, programs, and information, including local police websites, listing
possible fines and jail time for various substance-related charges based on Oregon Revised Statutes and
city ordinances. It also provides useful suggestions on the prevention of unsafe situations involving
substance use and abuse.
The University Counseling and Testing Center, the University Health Center and the
Collegiate Recovery
Center are resources on campus for students struggling with alcohol or other drug issues and concerns.
This material is being distributed in compliance with federal law (Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989) and University policy.

Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council Social Policy (click to see Policy)
The Social Policy aims to provide the safest possible social atmosphere for the members of the Greek
Community and their guests, while allowing attendees to exercise the personal responsibility expected
of students at the University of Oregon. The following objectives are essential to achieving this aim:
• To encourage social responsibility in all members;
• To encourage responsible alcohol use and thereby reduce the risks associated with alcohol
misuse at social events;
• To ensure the safety of everyone in attendance at chapter-sponsored social events;
• To decrease legal liability for chapters, their officers, members, members' parents, advisors,
house corporation boards, and Inter/National organizations;
• To support the ideals and values on which our fraternities and sororities are founded;
• To practice self-governance as a Greek Community;
• To educate the general membership of the Greek Community about the importance of risk
management.
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS

sororities are also available on the website.
Alcohol Service on Campus
A Request for Permission to Serve Alcoholic Beverages form must be submitted whenever event
organizers plan to serve alcoholic beverages at events held on University of Oregon property. Alcohol
service must always be accompanied by appropriate food service, per Oregon Liquor Control
Commission
guidelines. Providing tastings of alcohol is considered alcohol service; therefore, the food
requirements must be met.
Self-serve alcohol is seldom approved for official UO sponsored events. If you would like your event to
include alcohol the first thing you need to consider is that the event will need to be catered, either by
University Catering or another caterer that can provide proof of adequate levels of liquor liability
insurance and OLCC licensed servers. Also, if an outside caterer is used be sure to complete the
Catering
Waiver Form for approval.
The procedures for hosting events with alcohol are listed on the Office of Risk Management website
.
Additional University of Oregon alcohol policies are listed here.

Marijuana Free University
On July 1, 2015, Oregon state law decriminalized the limited recreational possession and use of
marijuana. However, despite this change at the state level, there will not be changes at the University of
Oregon. Using or possessing marijuana in any form remains a crime under federal law.
At the federal level, the Controlled Substances Act
states that the growing and use of marijuana is a
crime and federal enforcement agencies can prosecute users and growers of marijuana, regardless of
state law. In addition to being a federal offense, the use of marijuana in the workplace and on campus is
restricted by additional federal laws, such as the federal Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities
Act and the Drug-Free Workplace Act.
The University of Oregon’s receipt of federal funds—including funding for student financial assistance
and federal grants and contracts for research—requires that UO continue to prohibit the use and
possession of marijuana and other illegal drugs, as defined by federal law, on all University properties or
as part of University activities.
These federal laws require UO to prohibit the use and possession of marijuana on campus, irrespective
of state law. Consequently, such activity will remain prohibited by UO policy and the UO Student
Conduct Code. Disciplinary sanctions may be imposed on any student or employee found to be in
violation of the policies related to marijuana:
- Student Conduct Code
- Drug-Free Workplace Policy

It is a Class A felony for a person to manufacture or deliver a schedule I, II, or III controlled substance
within 1,000 feet of the real property comprising a public or private elementary, vocational or secondary
school attended by minors. In addition, the court may order the defendant to pay the cost of
prosecution, and the defendant's vehicle used in the crime may be forfeited to the state. Finally, the
defendant may forfeit any property used in the crime to the county in which the crime occurred.
This material is being distributed in compliance with federal law (Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989) and University policy.

Federal Sanctions
The federal system establishes sanctions for possession and distribution of controlled substances, based
on the schedule of the drug and the amount involved. However, in addition, the statutory sanctions for
possession and distribution are subject to the "Sentencing Guidelines for U.S. Courts." Imposition of the
guidelines may lead to higher offense levels and, thus, stricter penalties than otherwise indicated.
Courts must make adjustments in the offense level for victim-related considerations, defendant's role in
the offense, multiple counts, obstruction and acceptance of responsibility. Finally, the guidelines
establish sentences for each offense based on the defendant's criminal history. Federal penal sanctions
range from: manufacture, distribution or trafficking of large amounts of heroin, cocaine, PCP,
methamphetamine, Schedule I and II hallucinogens, marijuana, hashish, or any of their derivatives (30
years to life, regardless of the defendant's criminal history) to Possession of any Schedule III-V drug if
defendant has lowest level or criminal history (0-4 months).
Further, if serious injury or death results from the crime, minimums of up to 10 years (serious injury)
and 20 years (death), plus fines of up to $4,000,000 maybe added. These penalties maybe doubled for
defendants with past felony drug convictions. Finally, penal sanctions in the federal system are "real
time," with reductions in sentences only for good behavior.
Besides the criminal sanctions, the consequences of unlawful or irresponsible alcohol or drug use

3) Potential risks for injury, including permanent disability
4) The risk of being a victim of a crime and / or committing additional crime(s)
5) The loss of driving privileges

Health Risks Associated with Use and/or Abuse
Tobacco and Nicotine
The Surgeon General has confirmed that tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable death in
the United States. Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to contract heart disease. Lung, larynx,
esophageal, bladder, pancreatic, and kidney cancers also strike smokers at increased rates. Thirty
percent of cancer deaths are linked to smoking. Chronic obstructive lung diseases, such as emphysema
and chronic bronchitis, are 10 times more likely to occur among smokers than among nonsmokers.
Smoking during pregnancy also poses risks, such as spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, and low birth
weights. Fetal and infant deaths are more likely to occur when the pregnant woman is a smoker.
Nicotine is both psychologically and physically addictive.
This material is being distributed in compliance with federal law (Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989) and University policy.
16
Alcohol
Low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination needed to operate vehicles. Small
amounts can also lower inhibitions. Moderate to high doses cause marked impairments in higher mental
functions, and loss of memory and the ability to learn and remember information. High doses cause
respiratory depression and death. Long-term consumption, particularly when combined with poor
nutrition, can also lead to dependence and permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the
liver. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol
will produce the effects just described. Women who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to
infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental
retardation.
Cannabis (Marijuana, Hashish, Hashish Oil, Tetrahydrocannabinal)
Physical effects of cannabis include increased heart rate, bloodshot eyes, dry mouth and throat, and
increased appetite. Use of cannabis may impair or reduce short-term memory and comprehension, alter
sense of time, reduce ability to perform tasks requiring concentration and coordination, and impair
driving ability. Motivation and cognition may be altered, making the acquisition of new information
difficult. Marijuana, hashish, THC, etc., can also produce paranoia and psychosis. Long term use may
result in possible lung damage, reduced sperm count and sperm motility, and may affect ovulation
cycles. Cannabis can also be psychologically addictive.
Inhalants (Nitrous Oxide, Amyl Nitrite, Butyl Nitrite, Chlorohydrocarbons, Hydrocarbons)
Immediate effects of inhalants include nausea, sneezing, coughing, nosebleeds, fatigue, lack of
coordination, and loss of appetite. Solvents and aerosol sprays also decrease the heart and respiratory
rates and impair judgment. Amyl and butyl nitrite cause rapid pulse, headaches, and involuntary passing
of urine and feces. Long-term use may result in hepatitis or brain damage. Deeply inhaling vapors, or
using large amounts over a short time, may result in disorientation, violent behavior, unconsciousness,
or death. High concentrations of inhalants can cause suffocation by displacing oxygen in lungs. Long-
term use can cause weight loss, fatigue, electrolyte imbalance, muscle fatigue, and permanent damage
to the nervous system.
Cocaine (Crack)
Cocaine stimulates the central nervous system. Its immediate effects include dilated pupils and elevated
blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. Occasional use can cause nasal
irritation: chronic use can ulcerate the mucous membrane of the nose. Crack or freebase rock is
extremely addictive. Physical effects include dilated pupils, increased pulse rate, elevated blood
pressure, insomnia, loss of appetite, tactile hallucinations, paranoia, and seizures. The use of cocaine
can cause death by cardiac arrest or respiratory failure.
Stimulants (Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, Adderall, Ritalin, Crank, Ice)
Stimulants cause increased heart and respiratory rates, elevated blood pressure, dilated pupils, and
decreased appetite. Users may experience sweating, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, sleeplessness,
and anxiety. Extremely high doses can cause rapid or irregular heartbeat, tremors, loss of coordination,
and physical collapse. Amphetamine injection creates a sudden increase in blood pressure that can
result in stroke, very high fever, or heart failure. In addition to physical effects, feelings of restlessness,
anxiety, and moodiness can result. Use of large amounts over a long period of time can cause
amphetamine psychosis that includes hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia. The use of amphetamines
This material is being distributed in compliance with federal law (Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989) and University policy.
17
can cause physical and psychological dependence.
Depressants (Barbiturates, Methaqualone, Tranquilizers)
Small amounts can produce calmness and relaxed muscles, but somewhat larger doses can cause slurred
speech, staggering gait, and altered perception. Large doses can cause respiratory depression, coma,
and death. Combination of depressants and alcohol can multiply effects of the drugs, thereby
multiplying risks. Babies born to women who abuse depressants during pregnancy may be physically
dependent on the drugs and show withdrawal symptoms shortly after birth. Birth defects and
behavioral problems may also result. The use of depressants can cause both physical and psychological
dependence.
Hallucinogens (Mushrooms, PCP, LSD, Mescaline, Peyote, Psilocybin)
Phencyclidine (PCP) interrupts the functions of the neocortex, the section of the brain that controls
intellect and instinct. PCP blocks pain receptors, and users can have violent PCP episodes resulting in
self-inflicted injuries. Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), mescaline, and psilocybin cause illusions and
hallucinations. The physical effects may include dilated pupils, elevated body temperature, increased
heart rate and blood pressure, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, and tremors.
Narcotics (Heroin, Methadone, Codeine, Morphine, Meperidine, Opium, Oxycontin)
Narcotics initially produce a feeling of euphoria that often is followed by drowsiness, nausea, and
vomiting. Users may experience constricted pupils, watery eyes and itching. Overdoses may produce
respiratory depression, clammy skin, convulsions, coma, and death. Addiction in pregnant women can
lead to premature, stillborn, or addicted infants who experience severe withdrawal symptoms. Use of
narcotics can cause physical and psychological dependence.
Designer Drugs (Analogs of Fenatyl, Analogs of Meperidine, MDMA, Ecstasy, Analogs of PCP)
Many "designer drugs" are related to amphetamines and depressants and have mild stimulant and
depressant properties. Use can produce severe neurochemical damage to the brain. Narcotic analogs
can cause symptoms such as those seen in Parkinson's disease: uncontrollable tremors, drooling,
impaired speech, paralysis, and irreversible brain damage. Analogs of amphetamines and
methamphetamines cause nausea, blurred vision, chills or sweating, and faintness. Psychological effects
include anxiety, depression, and paranoia. Analogs of PCP cause illusions, hallucinations, and impaired
perception.
Anabolic Steroids
Steroid users subject themselves to more than 70 side effects, ranging in severity from acne to liver
cancer, including psychological as well as physical reactions. The liver and cardio-vascular and
reproductive systems are most seriously affected by use. In males, use can cause withered testicles,
sterility, and impotence. In females, irreversible masculine traits can develop along with breast
reduction and sterility. Psychological effects in both sexes include very aggressive behavior, known as
'roid rage' and depression. While some side affects appear quickly, others, such as heart attacks and
strokes, may not show up for years.
