As a student staff applicant and potential College employee, it is important
that you understand the expectations and limitations that the use of alcohol
and other drugs will place on you if appointed to a staff position. ORL staff
members must be able to function as appropriate and credible role models at all
times. It is thus imperative that all staff members act in a way that is
consistent with College standards. Being a student leader in a hall or cluster
inevitably places additional expectations on your behavior and activities and
has an effect on more people than just yourself.
The following are some specific expectations that we have of student staff
members:
- UGAs are expected to comply with all College alcohol and other drug-related
policies.
- UGAs cannot purchase or provide alcohol to anyone, except within the
alcohol service guidelines and policies established by the College. This
expectation pertains primarily to floor/hall members, and members of your
staff.
- You are expected to behave in a mature and responsible manner as it relates
to alcohol consumption. Staff members should not place themselves in a position
where they need to be cared for by their residents or fellow staff members due
to irresponsible alcohol consumption.
- UGAs should not organize or participate in hall/cluster programs that
involve the use of alcohol, except in very specific circumstances when arranged
in consultation with and approved by your supervisor.
- As always, UGAs are expected to confront illegal and inappropriate
activities that occur in their buildings.
- UGAs are expected to take charge of incidents that may be disruptive, or
that appear to be getting out of hand and where potential danger or damage may
occur.
Please weigh your own personal beliefs and values carefully against the
expectations outlined above before you enter the staff application process. If
offered a position, you will be asked to sign a contract that acknowledges your
understanding of and agreement to comply with this policy and other College
standards. Violation of this policy or engaging in behavior that compromises
your ability to serve effectively as a staff member will be grounds for
employment discipline, possibly including employment termination.
