Amnesty.

(1) In situations involving intoxication, alcohol poisoning, or drug-related medical issues, students, or student groups, are encouraged to seek swift medical assistance for themselves and others without fear of penalty. Students requesting and receiving medical assistance in these situations are not typically subject to the student conduct process. This policy refers to isolated incidents and does not excuse students who repeatedly or flagrantly violate the alcohol or drug policy, nor does it preclude action arising from other violations of the code. The college will consider the positive impact of reporting a situation when determining any course of action. Without imposing sanctions, the college may initiate educational remedies regarding alcohol or drug use.
(2) Complainants and witnesses who in good faith report sexual harassment will not be subject to alcohol or drug violations of the code occurring at or near the time of the sexual harassment unless their own conduct placed another person's health or safety at risk.
