The possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages on campus outside the residence halls is governed by established policies administered through the Davies Center. Such possession or consumption is not permitted on campus, other than at catered events in authorized areas. The primary authorized area is Davies Center. In exceptional circumstances, the Chancellor may grant special authorization for events elsewhere on campus grounds.
Alcoholic beverages may be catered by Blugold Dining to any authorized area on campus under the following conditions:
1. Alcoholic beverages will be served only to those of legal drinking age.
2. Serving arrangements will be determined by Blugold Din¬ing, the sponsor, and the Director of Davies Center or designated representative.
3. Alcoholic beverages may be sold and consumed only within the authorized area and may not be carried out of that area.
4. Individuals and/or the sponsoring group will be expected to maintain responsible standards concerning their use of alcoholic beverages. Immoderate use leading to offensive behavior or disorderly conduct will result in the discontinuance of service to that individual and/or sponsoring group. Further disciplin¬ary action may be taken, if necessary.
5. Possession of alcoholic beverages shall include both actual possession, as well as constructive possession, which shall be defined as knowingly being in the immediate pres-ence of someone who is in actual possession of alcoholic beverages.
6. Inappropriate conduct resulting from the use of alcoholic beverages is a serious offense and may constitute grounds for University disciplinary action as well as civil action.
7. Implementation of these guidelines will be the responsibility of the Director of Davies Center.
