- The policy outlines under what conditions the University may require drug and/or alcohol testing of students or employees, including pre-employment drug testing for certain designated positions as well as drug and alcohol testing of employees involved in vehicle collisions while driving on University business. Judson University may require drug and/or alcohol testing of students or employees if there is reasonable suspicion the individual has recently used illegal drugs or alcohol but does not conduct random drug testing.
- The policy specifies that employees who are convicted for drug or alcohol-related misdemeanors must report any such convictions to their supervisor and Human Resources within five days of the conviction.
- The policy outlines sanctions for policy violations for students and employees including legal penalties and consequences to student federal financial aid eligibility.
