The University will enforce these to the extent provided by law or the University Student Code. The University of Utah Student Code 6-400 (Section III: Student Behavior, Section A, subsections 7, 8, 9) specifically prohibits:

Possession or use on University premises or at University activities of any firearm or other dangerous weapon, incendiary device, explosive or chemical unless such possession or use has been authorized by the University.

Review of violation of University of Utah Student Behavior Committee with possible sanctions that may include suspension or expulsion dependent upon the nature of the offense, circumstances, and previous violations.

EMPLOYEES/FACULTY

University Policy 5-113: Drug-Free Workplace states that the University maintains a drug-free workplace and it shall be a violation of this policy for employees to engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, and/or use of a controlled substance or alcohol at a University workplace or while engaged in University business off campus. Any person accepting employment with the University agrees to abide by the terms of this policy. Employees assigned to a federal contract or grant should be aware of special conditions of employment regarding violations such as:

Smoking in violation of the Utah Indoor Clean Air Act.
Possession or consumption of alcohol on University premises.

Any employee of the University who violates these policies may be required to participate in a drug or alcohol abuse assistance or rehabilitation program approved by the Director of Human Resources in accordance with federal law; and/or disciplinary action and sanctions imposed may include a written reprimand, fine, probation, suspension without pay or partial pay, and/or dismissal. Employees must notify their supervisor of any criminal drug statute conviction occurring in the workplace within five days of the conviction. Whenever permitted by University regulations, rehabilitation is preferred to discipline for violations of this section.
