Description of the Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) Program Elements 1. Alcohol -Free Options East Georgia State College by policy provides an alcohol and drug-free environment with alcohol-free options using the following suggested strategies: • We promote and conduct alcohol-free events and activities for our students. For the last two years East Georgia State College has received a grant from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety. The grant is entitled "Cool Cats Don't Drink & Drive." The College has placed banners and kick-down signs around campus to promote the program. The program also includes a seat-belt check at graduation. A Simulator car was also brought to campns to show how it feels to be driving under the influence and the dangers it can hold. • We have a fitness center that is available to students, faculty, and staff to promote wellness on campus. The center is open Monday to Thursday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm; Friday and Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm; and Sunday, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. • Athletic teams and activities on campus are Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Baseball, and Softball. These events are alcohol free. • We have a freshman-year experience course that is scheduled fall and spring semesters. During this reporting cycle the course was a student success course (EGAC 1100) and was required for all incoming freshman. The course was changed this year to CATS 1101, to include a critical thinking component. We hold workshops each fall and spring semesters to provide information on alcohol and drug usage (See copy of PowerPoint presentation in Appendix A). • East Georgia State College offers classes on the Georgia Southern University (GSU) campus in Statesboro. East Georgia State College students who take four or more hours pay all of the GSU student services fees which enable them to receive all services with the exception of Greek life, NCAA sports, counseling services, and tutoring services. Counseling and tutoring services are available to EGSC students at all three campuses (Augusta, Statesboro, and Swainsboro). Student services on the GSU campus are not hosted, created, funded, or staffed by EGSC faculty and staff. 4
• East Georgia State College students taking classes at Augusta University - Summerville Campus (AU) pay all of AU student services fees, which enable them to receive all student services with the exception of Greek life, NCAA sports, and counseling services (except in an emergency situation). Counseling services are provided to students at least once a month in Augusta and by appointment by the director of counseling and disability services in Swainsboro. Student events at AU campus are hosted by, created, funded, and/or staffed by EGSC faculty and staff only by permission from Augusta University.
2. Normative Environment • East Georgia State College promotes a tobacco-free environment by banning the use of tobacco products on our campuses. • Freshman students are given the opportunities to attend a counseling workshop on the health risks, and the legal consequences of alcohol and drug usage in fall and spring semesters. Students are provided with information of counseling services available on campus and off campus. • East Georgia State College requires all students to take a health class (HLTH 2051) for graduation. The course has units on alcohol, drug, and tobacco use. • East Georgia State College pminers with local agencies such as Southeastern Technical College, Emanuel Medical Center, East Georgia Healthcare, Ogeechee Behavioral Health Services, etc. to offer services to students, faculty, and staff. • EGSC offers free tutoring services to students in selected instructional areas including mathematics and writing to students who need assistance at all three campuses (Augusta, Statesboro, and Swainsboro) through the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE). The ACE is staffed by faculty, staff, and student tutors. • East Georgia State College full time faculty maintain a minimum of 10 office hours a week for students who need assistance outside of class. Some faculty provide some of those hours in the ACE. • East Georgia State College maintains a low student-faculty ratio, enabling faculty to get to know their students and to assist in making referrals to appropriate 5
resources (such as the counseling center) when students are experiencing personal, career, or academic problems. Fall Semester, 2014 • The Director of Counseling and Disability services did a presentation on the dangers of alcohol, drugs abuse, and sexual assault to freshmen students. • In November 2014, handouts on banned substances and EGSC's zero tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol on campus were distributed to students. • For this term, 291 students completed the health course and 779 students completed the student success course. As noted above, those courses have alcohol, drug, and tobacco-use instructional components. • In December 2014 (at graduation) seatbelt checks were conducted. 193 occupants were observed in vehicles coming to campus for graduation. 111 occupants were observed to be wearing seatbelts (58%). The graduation event is used to measure seatbelt usage because of the large number of people on campus at that time. Spring Semester, 2015 • In February 2015, four sessions in the Wellness Program on campus dealt with healthy relationships. The presentation was focused on how alcohol, drug abuse, and violence could impact relationships in an unhealthy way. Several mini sessions were conducted with an average of 13 students attending each session. • In March 2015, Dawn Baker, Channel 11 News Anchor and motivational speaker from Savannah, pmiicipated in a luncheon with 13 young ladies and talked to them about some problems (alcohol, sex, drugs, low self-esteem, dating violence, etc.) facing young ladies today. • Ms. Baker spoke to the entire student body about problems facing today's youth and motivated them to do better in school, to have high self-esteem and to not allow others to bring them down. She also discussed gang violence, drugs, and violence facing today's society. Many students purchased her book "Dawn's Daughter" a book motivating today's young adults, especially young women. • For this term, 233 students completed the health course and 249 students completed the student success course. The listed courses have alcohol, drug, and tobacco-use instructional components. 6
• In May 2015 at graduation a seatbelt check was conducted. There were 269 vehicle occupants, of which 166 wore their seat belts (62%). Fall Semester 2015 • For this term, 276 students completed the health course and 879 students completed the student success course. The health and student success courses have alcohol, drug, and tobacco-use instructional components. • On December, 2015 a seat belt check was completed at graduation. We counted 240 occupants and 152 of them were wearing seatbelts. That is a rate of 62%. • In the fall of 2015, a total of281 students participated in the Ever Fi-9 learning modules which were focused on strategic decision-making through real life examples. The participants did a total of 3 surveys which assessed their motivation to use or not use alcohol, how they used it, and the possible places that they used alcohol. 6% of students reported drinking in a high risk way, 36% repmied not drinking in the past two weeks, and 40% not drinking in the past year. 89% of pmiicipants said that the training was going to be helpful in making responsible decisions as it relates to drinking. Spring Semester, 2016 • Right before Spring Break of 2016 Student Life implemented an aggressive campaign aimed at encouraging students to not drink while on Spring Break. This campaign included the student leadership, specifically, the Student Government Association. Students were asked to verbally pledge to not drink and drive during their spring break. • In Mmch 2016, literature was distributed to students on campus concerning "Not Drinking and Driving." • April 2016, two events were held. The first was in conjunction with a sexual awareness event scheduled on campus. Two plays were presented by drama students to bring awareness to not drinking and to not commit sexual assault. Counselors were on hand to answer any questions that students might have. The second event was "Bring Back the Night" that was held at the housing complex. Sexual assault, as well as the impairments that drinking has on your life, were discussed and the students participated in a "Poetry Slam" where they talked 7
about different things that affect college students lives. Nine poems were presented, many of them dealing with alcohol and the way alcohol can affect your life. • For this term, 218 students completed the health course and 305 students completed the student success course, both of which have alcohol, drug, and tobacco-use instructional components. • During our May 2016 graduation we conducted another seat belt check. We counted 362 vehicle occupants with 221 (61 %) of them wearing seat belts. • In July 2016, banners were hung on campus stating that "Cool Cats Don't Drink and Drive". We use the EGSC and GOHS logos on the banners.

Statement of AOD Program Goals and Achievement Program Goals: 11
Program Goals: 1. East Georgia State College will provide information (of educational nature) to students, faculty, and staff regarding health risks, legal consequences, and treatment resources. 2. EGSC will maintain AOD policies that are responsive and enforceable. 3. EGSC will provide referral information to students, faculty and staff who report or indicate a potential AOD addiction (s). 4. EGSC will provide counseling services to students who have addiction problems or will provide referral for further treatment if needed. 5. EGSC will maintain appropriate records of AOD issues.
Goal Achievement: I. East Georgia State College formed the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention Task Force in fall of 2014. The task force was formed to review and revise college policies in this area for students and employees, plan training and awareness activities and meet regularly to ensure all reporting and compliance in this area is completed in a timely manner. 2. In fall of 2015, the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Violence Prevention Task Force was converted to a standing committee. The committee meets regularly to review alcohol, drug abuse, and violence matters. 3. In August of 2015, EGSC Contracted with Drug Free Spmi to conduct drug testing ofEGSC student athletes beginning fall semester 2015. 4. On December 11, 2015 EGSC adopted a Student Athlete Substance Abuse Policy. The policy includes drug abuse prevention and training component that is delivered to student athletes at orientation. The policy is contained in the EGSC Student Athlete Handbook. 5. Every fall and spring semesters the director of counseling and disability services completes a drug and alcohol/sexual assault workshop with students (freshmen). This information includes health risks and legal consequences of alcohol and drug use. Counseling and resource centers are provided at this workshop, and information on how to contact counseling and disability services is also provided. Institutional as well as legal sanctions for alcohol 12
and drug use are communicated to students during this workshop. Employees are provided with the AOD policy during new employee orientation in the employee handbook. This information is provided in a written format in the employee handbook. The Office of Human Resources has instituted training videos (with associated quizzes) for all faculty and staff that provide information on AOD issues. There is a post-test associated with the training. 6. EGSC AOD policies are reviewed bi-annually for compliance with applicable laws and relevant student issues. These policies are reviewed by the Chief of Staff and Legal Counsel. 7. Students with alleged or repo1ied AOD violations are referred to counselors. The counselors make an assessment to determine if such students should be treated within the center or they need to be referred for further treatment outside of the colleges' counseling center (inpatient or ontpatient AOD provider). Employees with alleged or repmied AOD problems are referred to the director of human resources for assistance. During this reporting period there were no employees (faculty or staff) who were referred to the director of human resources for alcohol or drug related problems. 8. As noted above, during the August I, 2014 to July 31, 2016 repmiing period, there were 27 cases of AOD violations at all three campuses (Swainsboro, Statesboro, and Augusta).
Summary of Program Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths
Strengths • East Georgia State College has a detailed policy identifying prohibited actions on the part of students, and procedures for addressing violation of policy. • EGSC alcohol and drug policy is communicated to students annually through the freshman-year-experience class. • EGSC student athletes receive drug prevention awareness programing at orientation. 13
• The AOD Policy for Student- Athletes can be found at www.ega.edu/policy/04-athletes-sustance-abuse-policy.pdf?2l02016 • The director of student conduct reviews the college's code of conduct policy at least annually which also addresses alcohol and drug usage. • The director of student conduct maintains records of alcohol and drug related offenses, and subsequent penalties. • The AOD standing committee's coordinated work has contributed to the success of the programs, and the compilation of the final rep011.
Weaknesses: • We have limited financial resources devoted to AOD program • The number of students who are not residents in on-campus housing is more than those that are on-campus housing residents which limits the ability to effectively detect and address AOD related issues. • There were 27 AOD-related incidents at all three campuses during the reporting period.

All new employees are expected to read and become familiar with AOD policy. All employees suspected of having substance abuse issues are referred to the director of human resources. The director of human resources will refer the individual for outside treatment if deemed necessary. • The student alcohol and drug policy can be found in the student handbook at http://www.ega.edu/policy/04-drug-and-alcohol-policy.pdf?2l02016. The drug and alcohol policy is communicated to students during the student success classes. • The Office of Human Resources instituted video training (with associated quizzes) that provides information on AOD issues for all faculty and staff. There is a post-test associated with the training.
Recommendations for Revising AOD Prevention Program • East Georgia State College is currently utilizing an educational program on drug and alcohol which is viewed by students who are referred for mandatory counseling for violating AOD policies. Such students are required to pay for the online course. • Collaboration between the campus police, director of housing, director of student conduct, and others to work directly with students, is impmiant for continued monitoring of the program. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to repmi any incident of AOD policy violation.

Revisions adopted by the Pi·esident's Cabhie.t 9/22/15 AplH'O\'Cd by President's Cabinet 9-23-14
Drugs and Alcohol President Bush's National Drug Control Strategy issued in September of 1989 proposed that the Congress pass legislation to require schools, colleges, and universities to implement and enforce film drug prevention programs and policies; On December 12, 1989, the President signed the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments (Public Law 101 -226). This law establishes a process to accomplish the President's goal. Public Law 101-226 requires that schools maintain standards of conduct that clearly prohibit, at a minimum, the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of dmgs and alcohol on school prope1iy or as any part of school activities. In support of Public Law 101-226, East Georgia State CollegQ recognizes and suppo11s local, state, and federal laws with respect to the sale, use, distribution, and possession of alcoholic beverages and illegal drngs. To this end, the possession, consumption, distribution, manufacture, or sale (without valid medical or dental prescription) of alcoholic beverages, illegal 01· dangernus dmgs on East Georgia State College property or at institutionally-approved events off campus is prohibited. East Georgia State College also adheres to the following: Drug Free School Zone - it is unlawful for persons to manufacture, distribute, dispense, or possess with intent to distribute illegal drugs within 1,000 feet of any elementary or secondary school prope1ty. A first convictio11 is punishable by imprisonment for not more than 20 years and/or a fine of not more than $20,000, and a second or subsequent conviction is punishable by imprisonment for at least five yeais but not more than 40 years and/or a fine of not more than $40,000. Student Organization Responsibility for Drug Abuse Act - provides that ai1y student 01ganization that knowingly engages in illegal drng activity will be expelled from its college campus for a minimum of one year. A student organization may appeal to the Board of Regents, or, in some cases, to certain superior courts. Drug-Free Postsecondary Education Act of 1990 - provides that students enrolled in public postsecondary schools who are convicted of a drng-related offense shall be suspended for the remainder of the quarter, semester, etc. and shall forfeit all academic credit for that period. Ft11ihennore, it pmvides that students e111·olled in nonpublic postsecondary schools who al'C convicted of a drug-related offense shall be denied state funds for any loans, grants, or scholarships for the ,·emainder of the quarter, se1nester I etc. Amending the List of Controlled Substances - this act adds several names to the list of dangerous drugs. I -( I-(2-thienyl) cyclohexy) pyrrolidine is added to Schedule I of the list of controlled substances. In addition, the following items are added to the list of dangerous drngs: adenosine, carboplatin, cefixime, cefpirainide soditun, clozapine, fluta1nide, ganciclovir sodium, 1nefloguine HCL, 01neprzole, propafenone HCL, propofol, selegiline HCL, and imodium A-D 2mg caplets. Posting of Drug Ln,vs - this resolution encourages counties, 111unicipalities, schools, colleges and businesses to post on their premises summaries of drng legislation enacted during the 1990 Session. These summaries should include the risks and penalties imposed for using and/or selling illegal drugs.

Our Ne,v A1ncnd1nent Follo,vs: East Georgia State College Student Alcohol and Drug Policy Amendment October 2006 Drug Free Schools and Campuses (DFSC) Regulntions - require all institutions of higher education, as a condition of receiving federal funds or othel' forms of federal financial assistance under any federnl program, to certify that they have implemented a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students. Implementation of this regulation requires a written policy, distribution to all students and a biennial report on the effectiveness of the programs and the consistency of policy enfo,cement I. Policy: The possession, consumption, distribution, manufacture or sale of alcoholic beverages, illegal or dangerous drugs (without valid dental or medical prescription) on or off East Gemgia State College property, including institutionally approved events off campus, is prohibited. Georgia law prohibits the possession or consumption of alcoholic bevel'ages by those under the legal drinking age and prohibits making alcoholic beverages available to persons under ·the legal drinking age. In fu1iher support of campus wide safety and to enforce EGSC's Drug Free School Zone, EGSC Campus Police will utilize trained canine officers to conduct periodic patrols of the EGSC -Swainsboro campus. The patrol may include all buildings and parking lots. The canine officers are provided as a courtesy from neighboring police departments and will be accompanied by their respective police officer handlers. 11. Institutional sanctions for violations of the above policy are located in the "Disciplinary Sanctions for Conduct Code Violations," section of this Student Handbook. Felony Dmg Convictions are specifically addressed within the above section. All sanctions imposed by East Georgia State College are subject to review procedures authorized by the Board of Regents Policy 8.6 Application for Discretionary Review. An appeal to the Bom·d of Regents shaJI not defer the effective date of the adverse action against a student pending the Board~ review unless the Board so directs. Any such stay or suspension by the Board shall expire as of the Board's final decision on the matter, per Board of Regents Policy. III. State Legal Sanctions: (A) Suspension: Any student of a public educational institution who is convicted, under the laws of this state, the United States, or any other state, of any felony offense involving the 1nanufacture, distl'ibution, sale 1 possession} or use ofn1arijuana, a controlled substance, or a dangerous drug shall as of the date of conviction be suspended from the public educational institution in which such person is enrolled, (OCGA 20-1-23).

The punishment for these offenses may include imprisonment, payment of a fine, mandatory treatment and education programs,community service, and mandatory Joss of one's driver's license.
IV. Health Risks of Alcohol and Drugs. The following information is from http://cths.urnhb.edu/health risks-alcohol-and-dn1gs
Alcohol. Health hazards associated with the excessive use of alcohol OI' with alcohol dependency include dramatic behavioral changes, retardation of motol' skills, and impainnent of reasoning and rational thinking. These factors result in a higher incidence of accidents and accidental death for such pei·sons compared to nonusers of alcohol. Nutrition also suffers and vitamin and mineral deficiencies are frequent. Prolonged alcohol abuse can cause any or all of the following: bleeding from the intestinal tract, damage to nerves and the brain, hnpotence, psychotic behavior, loss of 1ne1nory and coordination, datnage to the liver oftei.1 resulting in cirrhosis, severe infla1n1nation of the pancreas, and datnage to the bone 1narrow, hea1t, testes 1 ovaries and 1nuscles. Da1nage to the nerves and organs is usually irrevel'sible. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in alcoholics and is 10 times more frequent than in non-alcoholics. Sudden withdrawal of alcohol from persons dependent on it will cause serious physical withdrawal symptoms. Drinking during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol syndrome. Overdoses of alcohol can result in respiratory arrest and death. Drngs. The use of illicit drugs usually causes the same general types of physiological and mental changes as alcohol, though frequently those changes are more severe and more sudden. Death or coma resulting from overdose of drugs is more frequent than from alcohol. Cocaine. Cocaine is a stimulant that is most commonly inhaled as a powder. It can be dissolved in water and used intrnvenously. The cocaine extract (crack) is smoked. Users can progress from infrequent use to dependence within a few weeks or months. Psychological and behavioral changes which can result from use include over-stimulation, hallucinations, irritability, sexual dysfunction, psychotic behavior, social isolation, and memory problems. An overdose produces convulsions and delirium and may result in death from cardiac arrest. Cocaine dependency requires considerable assistance, close supervision and treattnent. A1uphcl'an1ines. Patterns of use and associated effects are shniJar to cocaine. Severe intoxication n1ay produce confusion, rambling or incoherent speech, anxiety, psychotic behavim, ringing in the ears, and hallucinations. Intense fatigue and depression resulting from use can lead to severe depression. Large doses may result in convulsions and death from cardiac or respiratory arrest. MDA and MDMA (XTC, ecstasy). These amphetamine-based hallucinogens are sold in powder, tablet, or capsule form and can be inhaled, it*cted, or swallowed. They cause similar, but usually milder, hallucinogenic effects than those of LSD. Because they are amphetamines, tolerance can develop quickly and overdose can happen. Exhaustion and possible liver damage can occur with heavy use. In high doses, these drugs can cause anxiety, paranoia and delusions. While rare, these drngs have been associated with deaths in users with known or previously undiagnosed heart conditions. Rhohypnol (rophies, roofies, rope). This drng is in the· same category of drngs as Valium, a benzodiazepine, but is more potent than Valium. Initially, it causes a sense of relaxation and a reduction of anxiety. At higher doses, light-headedness, dizziness, lack of coordination and slurred speech occm. The drng affects memory and, in higher doses or if mixed with other drugs or alcohol, can result in amnesia for the time period the user is under the influence. Because of this amnesia effect, Rhohypnol has been given intentionally to others to facilitate sexual assault mid other crimes. Combining this drug with other sedating drugs, including alcohol, will increase the intensity of all effects of the drng and, in sufficient doses, can cause respiratmy arrest and death. Dependency can occur. Heroin and other opiates. Addiction and dependence can develop rapidly. Use is characterized by impaired judgment, slurred speech, and drowsiness. Overdose is manifested by coma, shock, and depressed respiration, with the possibility of death from respiratory arrest. Withdrawal problems include sweating, diarrhea, fever, inso111nia, irritability, nausea, vo1niting, and 1nuscle and joint pains, Hallucinogens or psychedelics. These include LSD, mescaline, peyote, and phencyclidine or PCP. Use impairs and distorts one's perception of surroundings, causes mood changes, and results in visual hallucinations that involve geo1netric fonns, colors, persons., or objects. Solvent inhalants (e.g., glue, lacquers, plastic cement). Fumes from these substances cause problems similar to alcohol. [ncidents of hallucinations and permanent brain damage are more frequent with chronic use. Marijuana (Cannabis). Marijuana is usually ingested by smoking. Smoking mmijuana causes disconnected ideas, alteration of depth perception and sense of time, impaired judgment and impaired coordination. Prolonged use can lead to psychological dependence. Damage from intravenous drug use. In addition to the adverse effects associated with the use of a specific drng, intrnvenous drng users who use unsterilized needles or who share needles with other drug users can develop HIV, hepatitis, tetanus (lock jaw), and infections in the heart. Permanent damage or death can result. Synthetic cannabis (K2 and Spice). This is a psychoactive designer drng derived of natural herbs sprayed with synthetic chemicals that, when consumed, allegedly mimic the effects of cannabis. Synthetic cannabis can precipitate psychosis and in some cases it is prolonged. These studies suggest that synthetic cannabinoid intoxication is associated with acute psychosis, worsening of previously stable psychotic disorders, and also may have the ability to trigger a chronic (long-term) psychotic disorder among vulnerable individuals such as those with a family history of mental illness. Bath Salts (Brand names include Blizzard, Blue Silk, Charge+, Ivory Snow, Ivory Wave, Ocean Burst, Pure Ivory, Purple Wave, Snow Leopard, Stardust, Vanilla Sky, White Dove, White Knight and White Liglttniug). Bath salts are a dangerous drug whose full risks and eflects are still unknown. Doctors have reported that bath salts can cause rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, chest pains, agitation, hallucinations) extre1ne paranoia and delusions. Long~terin· effects are believed to be silnilar to metharnphetarnine (meth). Taking a lot of it for a long time can lead to emotional and physical "crash like" feelings of depression, anxiety and intense cravings for more of the drug. Since it contains amphetamine-like chemicals, bath salts will always carry the risk of stroke, heart attack and sudden death. Appendix D
EGSC Student Athlete Handbook Substance Abuse Policy EGSC Student Athlete Handbook Snhstnnce Abuse Policy Ailoptetl '1y Presklent's C11bincf 12/11/15
Students participating in EGSC intercollegiate athletics e1~oy a privilege, not a right, to represent the college. Violations of college policies and rules and violations ·or the law could result in expulsion from the team and/or the college. Because of the fundamental importance of maintaining drug-free athletics competition, and the grave danger that substance abuse poses, substance abuse on the part of student athletes (or any member of the East Georgia State College student body) will be viewed as a most serious violation of the student code of conduct.
Drug Education and Testing Program
Drug Education The EGSC Athletic Department is committed to making every effort to prevent the use of illegal drugs by its student-athletes and educate athletes about the dangers of drug use and abuse. Therefore, athletes are required to attend a series of drng education workshops during the regular academic year. The workshops inform the athlete about the EGSC Substance Abuse Policy and review the testing process and sanctions, NJCAA policy, EGSC Student-Athlete Handbook, and the EGSC student disciplinary process. Athletes ai·e provided copies of all relevant policy and educational materials. Athletes that fail to attend the mandatory sessions will be subject to disciplinary action by the Head Coach or Athletic Director. Each individual co.vered under the policy is asked to sign a "Drug-Testing Consent" form at the Drug Education Seminar. Students under 18 years of age must obtain his or her parent or legal guardian's signature. This form states that the student understands the drug testing program and is aware that his/her urine may be submitted for testing and voluntarily consents to testing for prohibited substances. This is also consent for release of information to a limited number of individtials responsible for the administration of this program. (See Attaclunent- "A''-East Georgia State College Drug Testing Consent Form).
Drug Testing and the Purpose of Drug Testing The high profile status of student-athletes and the scrutiny given athlete's calls for a standard procedtire covering drugs and drug abuse that is consistent with the example expected of student-athletes. The athletic administration and staff are directed to communicate this standard and level of expectation to each student-athlete. While the Department makes an effort to educate students concerning the dangers of drug abuse, drug testing is conducted not only to give students an additional reason to say "no," but also to identify any student-athlete who is using prohibited substances. Drug testing ensures that students are medically competent to pa1ticipate in intercollegiate athletics, to minimize his/her risk of being injured, and minimize the risk ofinjmy to others. Athletes taking prescription medications should register the details of use with Athletic Trainer. This is necessary to determine medical qualification to participate in the sport and to communicate the possibility that the prescription dn1g will result in a positive drng test. .
Coverage: Student athletes, student athletes who ai·e academically ineligible, student assistants in the athletic depar~nent and student managers are covered under this policy. Random Selection: Students will be randomly selected periodically during the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters to prnvide a urine sample for drug testing. The Athletic Director will manage the drng testing process. Testing will be conducted by a third party medical provider. The Athletic Director will provide a cunent team roster for each intercollegiate athletic squad to the testing provider. The testing provider's computer rnndomly selects students to be tested from the current roster, and the Athletic Director notifies the student/athlete that he/she has been selected. Students/athletes selected randomly for testing \¥ill be given 11110 1nore than 24 hours' notice to testing". (See Attaclunent~ 11 B"~East Georgia State College Drug and Alcohol Testing Program Student/Athlete Notification Form).
Reasonable Suspicion: Any student participating in the intercollegiate athletic program is subject to reasonable suspicion testing if there is reason to believe the student may be using banned substances or prohibited drugs. Reasonable suspicion includes, but is not limited to, the following: a. current or past involvement with the criminal justice system for drug or alcohol related activities b. prior treatment for drug or alcohol ·problems c. admission of a current drug or alcohol problem d. prior positive test for any banned substances e. physiological signs of possible impairment from drugs or alcohol f. a pattern of aberrant behavior ( e.g. increase/decrease in weight in a short period of time, increase in absence frotn class or athletic activities, incl'ease in injury 1·ate, tnood swings, etc.) g. observed possession or use of substance or use of substances appearing to be prohibited drugs.
Any coach, athletic administrator 01· athletic staff member cqncemed with a particular student should express this information confidentially to either the Athletic Director or Athletic Trainer and complete the East Georgia State College Department of Athletics Drug Testing Reasonable Suspicion Reporting Form ( Attachment- "C"). The Athletic Director will review the form, meet .with the student and make a determination to uphold or deny reasonable suspicion that the student is under the influence of alcohol or drngs. If the Athletic Director completes the form based on his/her observations, the Counselor will review the form, meet with the student and make a determination to uphold or deny reasonable suspicion that the student is umler the influence of alcohol or drugs. These individuals are available to all athletic personnel to explain further the signs that may point to the need for reasonable suspicion testing. All athletic personnel are required to participate in regular drug education workshops conceming common signs and symptoms associated with drug nse and abuse. Pre-Season Screening: Student/athletes are subject to pre-season drug testing and may be notified of such by the Athletic Director or his/her designee at any time prior to their first competition. Testing Procedures: Students will provide urine samples using the urine collection guidelines on Attaclm1ent "D". Students that refuse to provide a sample for testing or fail to show for a scheduled drug testing will be considered to have a positive test. Students selected for testing will report to the EGSC locker room with photo ID. The student will complete a form in the presence of an athletic staff member disclosing all medications (prescription and over the counter) as well as beta 2 antagonists, caffeine, nutritional and dietary supplements that he/she is taking. The test will then be conducted in the EGSC locker room I resn·oom and collected with the assistance of a same gender EGSC staff member instructed in collection techniques by the third party medical provider. Each sample will be coded to protect confidentiality. Re-entry Testing: A student/athlete who has had his or her eligibility to participate in intercollegiate Sports suspended as a result of a drng and alcohol violation may be required to undergo re-entry drug and/or alcohol testing prior to regaining eligibility. The Athletic Director or his/her designee shall arrange for re-entry testing after the counselor Or specialist involved in the student/athlete's case indicates that re-entry into the intercollegiate sports program is appropriate. · Follow-up testing: A student/athlete who has returned to participation in intercollegiate sports following a positive dl'l!g test under. the policy may be subject to follow-up testing. Testing will be unannounced and will be required at a frequency determined by the Athletic Director or his/her designee in consultation with the counselor or specialist involved in the student/athlete's case. Manipulation of Sample; Any attempt to substitute, manipulate, adulterate or intentionally dilute a urine specimen will be treated as a positive drug test. Manipulation refers to the use of any product, including excessive water consumption, used for the pmpose of providing a dilute urine sample or substitution. of a urine sample. Adulteration refers to the use or attempted use of any chemical or product (including water) added directly to the urine sample for the purpose of interfering with the testing procedures used to identify the presence of drugs. Prohibited Substances as Defined in This Policy: The substances 01· classes of substances listed on Attachment "E" are prohibited substances. The presence of other dl'l!gs (local anesthetics, prescription medications, over the counter medications, etc.) as well as beta 2 antagonists, caffeine if exceeds specific concentration, and nutritional and dietary supplements will affect test results and should be disclosed by the student.
Supplements
Policy Statement on Use of Supplements
It is noted that the East Georgia State College Athletic Department does not condone the use of dietary supplements. See Attachment - "E": "NCAA Nutritional and Dietary Supplement Warning." The EGSC stance on dietary supplements is that student-athletes should be advised that the most effective and safest way to enhance their performance is to avoid dietary/nutritional supplement products and rely on a combination of healthy diet, appropriate conditioning, rest and recovery, and avoid substance abuse.
Student-athletes should always bring all supplement products to the designated athletic staff before using. The student must disclose the supplement used or proposed to be used to the EGSC Athletic Trainer including its brand name and ingredients. See Attachment- "F": Student-Athlete Dietary Disclosure and Review Fonn.
Prnducts labeled as dietary supplements sold over the counter, in print advertisements and thrnugh the internet are under-regulated by the U.S. FDA. Dietary supplements are at risk of contamination or may include ingredients that are banned under your drug testing policy. Student-athletes have tested positive and lost their eligibility using dietary supplements. Any prnduct containing dietary supplement ingredients is taken at the student-athlete's own risk.
Classification of' a l'ositi,,e Drug Test
If a student-athlete tests positive, their medical record will be reviewed at that time to determine whether any medications (prescription and/or over-the-counter) 01· dietary supplement may have caused the positive test. In this event, the Athletic Director and Athletic Trniner would consult with the appropriate personnel (prescribing physician, toxicologist) to confirm whether the use of the medication or dietmy st1pplement was appropriate and used properly in the correct dosage. If so, this would be considered a "medical exception". Absent a medical explanation the test is considered positive. If possible, testing is quantified in order to ascertain the exact amount of the prohibited substance in the student's urine. A forensic toxicologist may be utilized as a technical resource to clarify any questions pertinent to the follow-up positive lest result.
Notification to Student Athlete
The third party medical provider will share test results with the Athletic Director. The Athletic Director will promptly notify the student in writing with an acknowledgement form for the student/athlete to sign slating that he/she has been notified of the positive test result (See Attachment -"G"-Eas! Georgia State College Student/Athlete Acknowledgement/Notification of a Test Positive of a Drug/Alcohol Test). The student may, within 5 days of the receipt of this notification, request a meeting with the Athletic Director to contest the positive test, discuss the situation, to review the testing procedures used, and to provide any pertinent facts or mitigating circumstances, including medical justification for the use of a prohibited substance. All requests for a meeting must be in writing. A meeting with the Athletic Director or his. designee will occur as soon as is reasonably possible following the written request.
Test results are confidential and may be shared with specific additional individuals at EGSC whose job responsibilities require involvement in the substance abuse progrnm (i.e. Director of Student Conduct, Counselor, etc.) EGSC employees who release this information to others or allude publicly to any information concerning the test are subject to discipline including termination.
If, as a result of meeting with the Athletic Director, it is determined that the results were based on a defective testing procedure, or that the positive test was otherwise improper, no record of the positive test results is kept.
If the student does not request a meeting with the Athletic Director to challenge the positive lest result within the five days; or if the test results after consideration, are determined to be indisputable the matter will be referred to the Director of Student Conduct and/ot" the Head Coach.
Consequences of a Positive Test
Students that violate this policy will be referred for disciplinary action as follows:
1. Students that test positive for illegal drugs will be referred to the Director of Student Conduct and may face sanctions as provided in the Code of Conduct. Students may also face disciplinary action as provided in the Student Athlete Handbook Code of Conduct; and 2. Students that test positive for prohibited substances as defined in this policy that are not illegal will be referred to the Head Coach for disciplinary action as provided in the Student Athlete Handbook Code of Conduct. 3. Students who test positive that arc over th, age of 18 will not have his/her parent's or legal guardians notified of test results. Students who are under the age of 18 will have their parent's or legal guardians notified oftest results.
Students are advised that because many of the prohibited substances are also classified as illegal, involvement in the criminal justice system for a drug-related offense will be taken into account by EGSC.
Student sanctions may include active participation in drug assessment, counseling and/or a treatment program designated by the Athletic Director and the Director of Student Conduct. Failure to pmticipate in the specified program results in continued suspension. Pa,ticipation is monitored by the Head Coach. Students are advised that positive drng test results may also result in the loss or non-renewal of your athletic grant-in-aid. ·
SELF REPORT SAFE HARBOR:
A student-athlete may self-refer to the Athletic Director for voluntary evaluation and counseling. A student-athlete is not eligible for services under this section if the student self refers after notification of an impending drug lest or after receiving notice of a positive EGSC drug test. EGSC will work with tl1e student-athlete to prepare a treatment plan, which may inclt1de confidential drug testing. If the student athlete tests positive for a banned substance upon the initial self-repo1t, that positive test will not result in any administrative sanction. The Athletic Trainer may suspend the stud_ent-athlete from play 01· practice if medically indicated. A student-athlete will be permitted to iemain in the treatment plan up to thirty (JO) days. A student-athlete will not be permitted to take advantage of services under this provision if he/she self-reports thirty (30) days prior· to'NJCAA or Conference postseason competition. While in compliance with the treatment plan, the student-athlete will not be included in the list of students eligible for random drug testing by EGSC. The Athletic Director, Athletic Trainer, the student-athlete's Head Sport Coach and the Team Physician may be informed of the student's participation in the treatment plan. The assistant coach also may be informed. Other college employees may be informed only to the extent necessary for the implementation of this policy. If a student-athlete tests positive on a second test for any banned substance after entering the treatment plan or fails to comply with the treatment plan, the student-athlete will be removed from the safe hai:bor program. The initial positive test will be treated as a first positive and the second positive will result in action consistent with a second offense. Attachment A

Faculty and Staff Policy-Alcohol and Other Drug Use Employee Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Policy llcvisions adopted by President Cabinet 9/22/15 Revisions adopted by President's Cabinet 4/28/15 Originally adopted by President's Cabinet 12/17/13
The abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs by members of the East Georgia State College community are incompatible with the goals of the institution. In order to further the College's commitment to provide a healthy and productive educational enviromnent and workplace, and in compliance with the Drng Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 and the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988, the College has established the following policy on alcohol and other drugs for its employees. A copy of the Student Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Policy can be found in the East Georgia State College Student Handbook.

Georgia law prohibits the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by those under the legal drinking age and prohibits making alcoholic beverages available to persons under the legal drinking age. Employees are prohibited from petmitting alcohol and/or dtug use or consumption by students under age 21 at events hosted or attended by the employee. This prohibition applies to on campus and off campus venues, regardless of whether the activity or event is sponsored by the college. Exceptions to the alcohol conswnption prohibition may be made for external groups utilizing College facilities as expressly provided in the East Georgia State College Facilities l!.wge Policy. In fllrther support of campus wide safety and to enforce EGSC's Drug Free School Zone, EGSC Campus Police will utilize trained canine officers to conduct periodic patrols of the EGSC -Swainsboro campus.

The canine officers are provided as a cowtesy from neighboring police departments and will be accompanied by their respective police officer handlers. Dl'llg FNe Workplace Statement East Georgia State College has a clear responsibility to students, parents, and employees to provide the very best academic atmosphere for the students and a drug free working environment for all employees. Any element which may hinder the eff01ts to carry out these responsibilities cannot be tolerated. Employees involved with drugs hinder the College's effort to carry out these responsibilities and wilJ not be tolerated.
a. Pre-Employment Drug Screening ofApplicants and Drug/Alcohol Testing ofEmployees East Georgia State College has a vital interest in providing a safe environment for its students, employees, faculty and visitors. Drug and alcohol abuse is a serious health problem, which can endanger the college and the safety of those who work and learn at the college or seek its services. It is the intent and goal of this policy to provide a supportive process for intervention and rehabilitation while also protecting the working and learning envirnmnent. Employees in "high-risk" jobs shall be subject to pre-employment, reasonable suspicion, post-accident and random alcohol and drug testing for evidence of use of illegal drugs. For purposes of this policy, a high risk position is defined as one in which inattention to duty or errors in judgment can result in harm to employees or others. High risks positions identified by EGSC as safety sensitive include, but are not limited to, Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) cettified law enforcement positions, transpo1tation positions requiring a CDL, and plant operations positions.
Any affected employee may be required to submit to alcohol and drug testing when their supervisor has reasonable suspicion to believe tliat the employee is under the influence of alcohol and/or illegal dl'ugs. Additionally, an employee who has notified his/her supervisor that he/she has a drug related problem and is maintaining employment under the Board ofRegents Voluntwy Disclosure ofDrug Use Policy, shall be subject to random drug testing.
Current employees are subject to drug and alcohol testing under the following conditions: when applying for transfer to a high risk position, upon reasonable suspicion, and when random testing is warranted due to an employee's high risk position or for a set period of time defined by the college for an employee returning to work following treatment under this policy. All cwTent employees in the above categories, except recently retumed to work employees subject to random testing, that have a positive alcohol or drng test as defined in this policy, will be immediately suspended from employment and required to complete a drug and alcohol assessment and treatment plan and be cleared by the medical provider before he/she can be eligible to return to work. An investigation will be conducted to determine whether other college policies wet'e violated, injuries to coworket's or others, and damage to college property. The college may take disciplinary action against an e1nployee, including ter1nination) in lieu of the above treat1nent option, based on the investigative findings. Employees that are recently returned to work and subject to random drug testing that have a positive drug or alcohol test will be terminated.
b. Vohmta1y Disclosu/'e ofDmg Use Pl'iol' to Arrest
If, prior to arrest for an offense involving a controlled substance, 1narijuana1 or a dangerous drug, an en1ployee notifies his or her immediate supervisor that he or she illegally uses a controlled substance, marijuana, or a dangerous drug and is receiving or agrees to receive treatn1ent under a drug abuse and education progra1n approved by the institution president, such employee shall be retained by the institution for up to one (I) year as long as the employee follows the treatment plan. Retention of such employee shall be conditioned upon satisfactory completion of the program. [n addition, this policy does not prohibit the College from taking appropriate disciplinary actions for violation of other policies and procedures of the College or Board of Regents. The employee's work activities may be restructured if in the opinion of the immediate supervisor it is deemed advisable. The rights herein granted shall be available to a System employee only once during a five (5)-year period and shall not apply to any employee who has refused to be tested or who has tested positive for a controlled substance, marijuana, or a dangerous drug. An employee retained under the provisions of th.is policy will be subject to return to work and random selection for controlled substances testing for no less than a yea,·.
c. Employee Duty to Report Arrests and Co11victio11s of all OJ]euses
Any current employee charged with a crime, other than a minor traffic offense, including alcohol and other drug offenses, shall report being charged with such clime to the Office of Human Resources within 72 hours of the employee becoming aware of such charge. Minor traffic offenses are those which do not involve driving while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, which did not result in imprisonment and for which a fine of less than $250 was imposed.
Failure to report being charged with such a crime may result in appropriate disciplinary action, including termination of employment. The Office of Human Resources shall review the nature of the crime and make a determination on what, if any, action should be taken regarding the employee's employment status until resolution of the charge.
Any current employee who is convicted of a crime ( other than a minor traffic offense*), including alcohol and other drug offenses, shall repmt such conviction to the Office of Human Resources within 24 hours of the conviction.

IV. Criminal Sanctions: Under Georgia and federal law, it is a crime to possess, manufacture, sell, or distribute illegal drugs. See chatts detailing federal penalties for marijuana trafficking, federal penalties for drug trafficking, and the state drug law summaries at http://www.ega.edu/index.php/offices/public safety. In GeOJ'gia, first offenders and youthful offenders convicted of lesser drug offenses may be referred to treatment centers. The specific sentence received by an offender depends on a variety of factors and the stated information is merely a guide. The Georgia legislature may amend the stated sanctions at any time.
Federal sanctions for the illegal possession of drugs include imprisonment up to 1 year and/or a minimum fine of $1,000 for a first conviction; imprisonment for 15 days-2 years and a minimum fine of $2,500 for a second dl'tlg conviction; and imprisonment for 90 days-3 years and a minimum fine of$5,000 for a third or subsequent drug conviction.

It is against Georgia law, under certain circumstances, to walk or be upon a roadway while under the influence of alcohol or other drngs. The punishment for these offenses may include imprisonment, payment of a fine, mandatory treatment and education programs, co111munity service 1 and mandatory loss of one's driver's license.
V. Health Risks of Alcohol and Drugs. The following information is from http://cths.umhb.edu/health-risks-alcohol and-drugs
Alcohol. Health hazards associated with the excessive use of alcohol or with alcohol dependency include dramatic be havioral changes, retardation of motor skills, and impairment of reasoning and rational thinking. These factors result in a higher incidence of accidents and accidental death for such persons compared to nonusers of alcohol. Nutrition also suffers and vitamin and mineral deficiencies are frequent. Prolonged alcohol abuse can cause any or all of the following: bleeding from the intestinal tract, damage to nerves and the brain, impotence, psychotic behavior, loss of memory and coordination, damage to the liver often resulting in cirrhosis, severe inflammation of the pancreas, and damage to the bone marrow, heatt, testes, ovaries and muscles. Dan1age to the nerves and organs is usually irreversible. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in alcoholics and is IO times more frequent than in non-alcoholics. Sudden withdrawal of alcohol from persons dependent on it will cause serious physical withdrawal symptoms. Drinking during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol syndrome. Overdoses of alcohol can result in respiratory anest and death. Drugs. The use of illicit drugs usually causes the same general types of physiological and mental changes as alcohol, though frequently those changes are more severe and more sudden. Death or coma resulting from overdose of drugs is more frequent than from alcohol. Cocaine. Cocaine is a stimulant that is most commonly inhaled as a powdct·. It can be dissolved in water and used intravenously. The cocaine extract (crack) is smoked. Users can progress from infrequent use to dependence within a few weeks or montlts. Psychological and behavioral changes which can t'esult from use include over-stimulation, halluci nations, irritability, sexual dysfunction, psychotic behavior, social isolation, and memoty problems. An overdose produces convulsions and delirium and may result in death from cardiac arrest. Cocaine dependency requil'es considerable assistance, close supervision and treatlnent. Amphetanlines. Patto111s of use and associated effects arc sin1i1ar to cocaine. Severe intoxication 1nay produce confusion, rambling or incoherent speech, anxiety, psychotic behavior, ringing in the ears, and hallucinations. Intense fatigue and depression resulting from use can lead to severe depression. Large doses may result in convulsions and death from cardiac or respiratory arrest. MDA and MDMA (XTC, ecstasy), These amphetamine-based hallucinogens are sold in powder, tablet, or capsule form and can be inhaled, injected, or swallowed. They cause similar, but usually milder, hallucinogenic effects than those of LSD. Because they are amphetamines, tolerance can develop quickly and overdose can happen. Exhaustion and possible liver damage can occur with heavy use. In high doses, these drugs can cause anxiety, paranoia and delusions. While rare, these drugs have been associated with deaths in users with known 01' previously undiagnosed heart conditions. Rhohypnol (rophies, roofies, rope). This drug is in the same category of drugs as Valium, a benzodiazepine, but is more potent than Valium. Initially, it causes a sense of relaxation and a reduction of anxiety. At higher doses, light-headedness, dizziness, lack of coordination and slurred speech occur. The drug affects mem01y and, in higher doses or if mixed with other drugs or alcohol, can result in amnesia for the time period the user is under the influence. Because of this amnesia effect, Rhohypnol has been given intentionally to others to facilitate sexual assault and other crimes. Combining this drug with other sedating drugs, including alcohol, will increase the intensity of all effects of the drug and, in sufficient doses, can cause respiratory anest and death. Dependency can occur. Heroin and other opiates. Addiction and dependence can develop rapidly. Use is characterized by impaired judgment, slutTed speech, and drowsiness. Overdose is manifested by coma, shock, and depressed respiration, with the possibility of death from respiratory arrest. Withdrnwal problems include sweating, diarrhea, fever, insomnia, initability, nausea, vomiting, and muscle and joint pains. Hallucinogens or psychedelics. These include LSD, mescaline, peyote, and phencyclidinc or PCP. Use impairs and distorts one's perception of sunoundings, causes mood changes, and results in visual hallucinations that involve geometric forn1s, colors, persons, or objects. Solvent inhalants (e.g., glue, lacquers, plastic cement). Fumes from these substances cause prnblems similar to alcohol. Incidents of hallucinations and permanent brain damage arc more frequent with chronic use. Marijuana (Cannabis). Marijuana is usually ingested by smoking. Smoking marijuana causes disconnected ideas, alteration of depth perception and sense of time, impaired judgment and impaired coordination. Prolonged use can lead to psychological dependence. Damage from intravenous drug use. In addition to the adverse effects associated with the use of a specific drug, intravenous dmg users who use unsterilized needles or who share needles with other drng users can develop HIV, hepatitis, tetanus (lockjaw), and infections in the heart. Permanent damage or death can result. Synthetic cannabis (K2 and Spice). This is a psychoactive designer drug derived of natural herbs sprayed with synthetic chemicals that, when consumed, allegedly mimic the effects of cannabis. Synthetic cannabis can precipitate psychosis and in some cases it is prolonged. These studies suggest that synthetic cannabinoid intoxication is associated with acute psychosis, worsening of previously stable psychotic disorders, and also may have the ability to trigger a chronic (long term) psychotic disorder among vulnerable individuals such as those with a family history of mental illness.

II. Reporting Sexual Misconduct
A complainant of sexual misconduct can choose among several reporting options at the College:
, filing a criminal complaint with law enforcement officials; • filing an administrative report with the Colleges Office of the Title IX Coordinator, Tracy Woods Director of Human Resources, East Georgia State College, 131 College Circle, Swainsboro, Georgia 30401; telephone 478-289-2035; email [email protected]; • or filing an anonymous report at East Georgia Stato College Ethics and Compliance Reporting Hotline htlps://ega.alertline.com/gcs/welcome . These processes are detailed below. An individual who believes he/she is a victim of sexual n1isconduct is encouraged to report allegations of sexual misconduct promptly.
Institutional Reports Complainants of sexual misconduct who wish to file a report with the College should notify a Responsible Employee or the Office of the Title IX Coordinator. Responsible Employees informed about sexual misconduct allegations involving any student must notify the Office of the Title IX Coordinator as soon as practicable. Responsible Employees should not attempt to resolve the situation, but must notify and report all relevant information to the Title IX Coordinator. Privileged Employees are not bound by this requirement but may, consistent with their ethical and legal obligations, be required to report limited information about incidents without revealing the identities of the individuals involved to the Office of the Title IX Coordinator. All members of East Georgia State College communities are encouraged to report incidents of sexual misconduct promptly.
The Title IX Coordinator's identity and contact Information is published at http:/!www.ega.edu/olfices/business affairs/human resources/office-of-title-ix , as well as in any relevant publications. The College may choose to have Deputy Title IX Coordinators to whom reports may be made, as well. East Georgia State College encourages complainants to report their complaints in writing, though oral complaints are accepted, taken seriously, and investigated, to the extent possible. Further, while complaints should be made as quickly as possible following an alleged incident of sexual misconduct, all reports are accepted regardless of when reported.
Complaints should include as much information as possible - that is: (1) the type of sexual misconduct experienced; (2) the name of the respondent; (3) the date(s), time(s), and place(s) of the sexual misconduct; (4) the name(s) of any individual(s) with knowledge of the incident; (5) whether any tangible evidence has been preserved; and (6) whether a criminal complaint has been made. Information from complaints will be shared only as necessary lo investigate and to resolve the alleged sexual misconduct. Complaints will be investigated and resolved as outlined below. East Georgia State College, through its Title IX Coordinator will also assess the need for and institute interim measures as described below as appropriate and where reasonable, as well as work with the appropriate institutional department to determine the need to issue a broader warning to the community in compliance with the Clery Act or to report activity to the authorities.
Institutional reports will be investigated and adjudicated separately from any criminal complaints.
1. Confidentiality: Where a complainant or alleged victim requests that his or her identity be wilhheld or the allegation(s) not be investigated, the College should consider, through the Title IX Coordinator, whether this request can be honored while still providing a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for the College. Honoring the request rnay limit the College's ability to respond fully to the incident and rnay limil the College's ability to discipline the respondent. The victim will be informed of these limitations at the time confidentiality is requested. 2. Retaliation: Anyone who, in good faith, reports what she or he believes to be misconduct under this Policy, or who participates or cooperates in, or is otherwise associated with any investigation, shall not be subjected to retaliation. Anyone who believes he or she has been the target of retaliation for reporting, participating or cooperating In, or otherwise being associated with an investigation should immediately contact the Title IX Coordinator for the College. Any person found to have engaged in retaliation in violation of this Policy shall be subject to disciplinary action. 3. False Complaints: Individuals are prohibited from intentionally giving false statements to a college official. Any person found to have intentionally submitted false complaints, accusations, or statements, including during a hearing, in violation of this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action. 4. Amnesty: Individuals should be encouraged to come forward and to report sexual misconduct notwithstanding their choice to consume alcohol or to use drugs. Information reported by an individual during an investigation concerning use of drugs or alcohol will not be used against the particular individual in a disciplinary proceeding or voluntarily reported to law enforcement; however, individuals may be provided with resources on drug and alcohol counseling and/or education, as appropriate.
Law Enforcetnent Reports Because sexual misconduct may constitute criminal activity, a complainant also has the option, should he or she so choose, of filing a report with EGSC Police Department (Swainsboro: 478-289-2090; Statesboro: 478- 455-1606; Augusta: 706-721-2911) or local police, for his or her own protection and that of the surrounding community. Complainants considering filing a report of sexual misconduct with law enforcement should preserve any evidence of sexual misconduct, including, but not limited to, the following:
1. Clothing worn during the incident including undergarments; 2. Sheets, bedding, and condoms, if used; 3. Lists of witnesses with contact inforn1ation; 4. Text messages, call history, social media posts; 5. Pictures of injuries; and/or 6. Videos.
Anonymous Reports The College provides a mechanism by which individuals can report incidents of alleged sexual misconduct anonymously. Anonymous reports can be made at East Georgia State College Ethics and Compliance Reporiing Hotline httos://ega,aJ.~rtline.comlgcs/welcome.
Ill. Interim Protective Measures
The Title IX Coordinator or his/her designee may impose interim protective measures before the final outcome of an investigation and until final resolution of the allegations if failure to take the interim measures would constitute an immediate threat to the safely and well-being of the alleged victim or other members of the institution, or to ensure equal access to the institution's education programs and activities. Before any such measures are Instituted, however, the Title IX Coordinator should, where practicable, provide the respondent with an initial opportunity to respond to the allegations and to the imposition of any interim protective measures specifically.
ltnposing interim protective measures does not indicate that a violation of this Policy has occurred, and is designed to protect the alleged victim and community, and not to harm the respondent. To the extent interim measures are imposed, they should minimize the burden on both the alleged victim and the respondent, where feasible. Interim measures may include, but are not limited to:
1. Change of housing assignment; 2. Issuance of a "no contact" directive; 3. Restrictions or bars to entering certain institution property; 4. Changes to academic or employment arrangements, schedules, or supervision; 5. Interim suspension; and 6. Other measures designed to promote the safety and well-being of the parties and the College co,nrnunity.
An interim suspension should only occur where necessary to maintain safety, and should be limited to those situations where the respondent poses a serious and immediate danger or threat to persons or property. In making such an assessment, the College will consider the existence of a significant risk to the health or safety of the alleged victim or the campus community, the nature, duration, and severity of the risk, the probability of potential injury, and whether less restrictive means can be used to significantly mitigate the risk. Before an interim suspension is issued, the institution 1nust 1nake all reasonable efforts to give the respondent the opportunity to be heard on whether his or her presence on campus poses a danger. If an interim suspension is issued, the terms of the suspension take effect immediately. When requested by the respondent, a hearing to determine whether the intermediate suspension should continue will be held within three (3) business days of the request.
IV. Support Services
Once an individual makes a complaint, or receives notice that a cornplaint has been made against hiin or her, that individual should receive information about support services, such as counseling, advocacy, housing
assistance, academic support, disability services, health and mental services 1 and legal assistance, as is available.
Available support services are listed on the College's Title IX website. http://www.ega.edu/policy/08- information-and-procedures-for-victims.pdf?060916
V. Process for Investigating and Resolving Institutional Reports
Jurisdiction: The College shall take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well .. being of its community. Accordingly, sexual misconduct perpetrated against students by EGSC students, faculty, or staff should be addressed whenever such acts occur on a campus, in connection with an institution's program or activity, or in a manner that creates a hostile environment for members of the institution community. Further, the policy is applicable to all EGSC students, faculty, and staff, as well as contractors, vendors, visitors, guests or other third parties.
Advisors: Both the alleged victim and respondent, as parties to the matter, shall have the opportunity to use an advisor (including an attorney) of his/her choosing for the express purpose of providing advice and counsel at his/her own expense. The selected advisor shall not otherwise be a party or witness involved in the investigation. The advisor may be present during any meetings and proceedings involved in the investigatory or resolution process in which the advisee is also eligible to be present. The advisor may advise the advisee, including providing questions, suggestions, advice on the proceedings, and guidance on responses to any questions of the participant, but shall not participate directly. The institution shall not prohibit family members of any party from attending if the party requests such attendance, but may limit tho number to two family members.
Timeframe: Reasonable efforts will be made to complete the investigation and resolution within 60 calendar days of the initial complaint, though a longer period of time may be needed in some cases. The Title IX Coordinator will notify the respondent and the alleged victim, in writing, of any extension of this timeframe. Investigations
1. The Office of the Title IX Coordinator is primarily responsible for directly overseeing the investigation and resolution of complaints, and coordinating possible remedial actions or other responses reasonably designed to minimize the recurrence of the alleged conduct as well as mitigate the effects of any misconduct. The Title IX Coordinator will ensure prompt, fair, and impartial invesligations and resolutions of complaints alleging violations of the sexual misconduct policy. The Tille IX Coordinator shall be responsible for ensuring any individual participating in the investigation, resolution, or appeal of any sexual misconduct case has received regular training on issues pertaining to sexual misconduct. 2. The Title IX Coordinator shall designate an investigator to conduct a prompt, thorough, and impartial investigation into each complaint received. The investigation shall consist of interviews of the complainant, alleged victim, respondent, and witnesses, and the collection and review of documents or other physical or electronic inforn1ation, as well as other steps, as appropriate. The College has designated the following Title IX Investigators:
Director of Student Life, Vicki Sherrod, telephone 478-289-2105, email [email protected];
, Director of PE Complex/Military Resources Center, Stacey King, telephone 478-289- 2145, email [email protected];
• Director of Housing, Missie Roberson, telephone 478-289-2172, email [email protected].
3. Unrelated charges and cases shall be investigated separately, unless the respondent consents to having them aggregated. 4. The respondent shall be provided with written notice of the complaint, pending investigation, possible charges, possible sanctions, and available support services. The notice should also include the identity of the Title IX Coordinator and any investigator(s) involved. Notice shall be provided via institution email. If confirmation of receipt is not received by the Title IX Coordinator or the investigator, the Title IX Coordinator or the investigator shall engage in other measures to ensure notice is received by the respondent. A copy shall also be provided to the alleged victim via the same means. 5. The investigator will timely begin the investigation and will schedule an initial interview wilh the co1nplainant, alleged victim, respondent and any known relevant witnesses. The investigator should retain written notes and/or obtain written or recorded statements fro1n each interview. The investigator shall also kcop a record of any proffered witnesses not interviewed, along with a brief, written explanation. 6. Each party shall have three (3) business days to submit a written statement to supplement the notice of complaint and the verbal interview. In that response, the respondent shall have the right to admit or to deny the allegations, and to sot forth a defense with facts, witnesses, and documents - whether written or electronic - in support. If respondent has not otherwise responded, a non-written response will be considered a general denial of the alleged misconduct. 7. Based on this response and other relevant information, the investigator shall continue to interview witnesses for both sides, to re-interview parties where necessary, and to collect and review docurnents or other physical or electronic inforrnation, as well as other steps, as appropriate. 8. Where the respondent is a student, the respondent has the right to remain silent during the investigation and resolution process, without an automatic adverse inference resulting. If the respondent chooses to remain silent, the investigation may ultimately still proceed and policy violation charges may still result, which may be resolved against the respondent. 9. The respondent and/or alleged victim may challenge the participation of the investigator on the grounds of personal bias by submitting a written statement to the Title IX Coordinator setting forth the basis for the challenge no later than three (3) business days after the party reasonably should have known of the bias. The Title IX Coordinator will determine whether to sustain or deny the challenge, and if sustained, to appoint a replacement. 10. At the conclusion of the investigation, the investigator will issue to the parties a written report setting forth charges and possible sanctions, as well as an explanation of the evidence against the respondent. 11. The parties shall have at least three (3) business days to respond to the report in writing. The respondent's written response should outline his or her plea in response to the charge(s), and where applicable, his or her defense(s), and the facts, witnesses, and documents - whether written or electronic - in support. 12. The investigator shall, as necessary, conduct further investigation and update the report as warranted by the response(s), and will update the report as necessary. 13. Upon completion of the investigation, the investigator will review the evidence with the Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator will ensure policies have been followed. 14. The Title IX Coordinator will contact the alleged victim(s) and the respondent(s) and schedule an opportunity to meet with each party individually. During these meetings, the Title IX Coordinator shall review the report with the parties (individually). Should the report be acceptable to all parties, an informal resolution may be made, which would not require the parties to move to the hearing phase of these procedures. If, however, the parties agree on the conduct, but not on the sanctions, then the sanctions shall be addressed by the hearing panel. 15. Allegations of sexual misconduct Involving a student that are brought against EGSC faculty or staff will be investigated as outlined above. Non-student complaints against faculty and staff respondents will be investigated as outlined above and addressed using the same hearing panel, hearing process and appeal as outlined in this policy. If a finding of responsibility is made against a faculty member at the end of the Title IX hearing process, including all appeals, and dismissal is recommended, the matter will then be referred by the Title IX Coordinator to the President for handling in accordance with the review provisions of Board of Regents Policy 8.3.9 Discipline and Removal of Faculty Members. The President or his designee will refer the matter to a faculty panel for review. The faculty panel review procedure will consist of a review of the Title IX hearing record and will not include testimony or new information. The faculty panel will prepare a report and recommendation to the President indicating whether dismissal is appropriate. Tho recommendation is advisory to the President. The President's decision on the matter is the final institutional decision.
If a finding of responsibility is made against a staff member at the end of the Title IX hearing process, the matter will be referred to Human Resources and the staff member's immediate supervisor to implement disciplina,y action up to and including termination. Both faculty and staff may appeal lo the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requesting a discretionary appeal.
Applicable policies include but are not limited to the following:
, East Georgia State College Employee Handbook http://www.ega.edu/policy/08- employee-handbook.pdf?22316
, BOR Policy 8.3 Additional Policies for Faculty http://www.usq.edu/policymanual/section8/C245/
16. Where the respondent(s) is a student, a hearing, as well as corresponding procedures/rights to appeal, shall be set and administered as set forth below, and a final report shall be provided to all parties, which will also provide a date, time, and location for a hearing on the matter. 17. The final report should also be provided to the panel for their consideration in adjudicating the charges brought against the respondent. The investigator may testify as a witness before the panel regarding the investigation and findings, but shall otherwise have no part in the hearing process and shall not attempt to otherwise influence the panel outside of providing testimony during the hearing.
Hearings
1. The hearing will be conducted by the Tille IX Coordinator and/or his/her designee(s). The Panel must be composed of al least three (3) members. The College will have a pool of members to serve on the Panel. 2. The investigator shall not serve on the Panel. 3. No student shall serve on the Panel. 4. Both the alleged victim and respondent shall have the opportunity to present witnesses and evidence to the PaneL Both partios shall have the right to confront any witnesses, including the other party, by submitting written questions to the Title IX Coordinator and/or his or her designee for consideration. Witness testimony, if provided, shall pertain to knowledge and facts directly associated with the case being heard. Advisors may actively assist in drafting questions. The Panel shall ask tho questions as written, and will limit questions only if they are unrelated to determining the veracity of the charge leveled against the respondent(s). In any event, the Panel shall err on the side of asking all submitted questions, and must document the reason for not asking any particular questions. 5. The Title IX Coordinator reserves the right to allow a party to testify in a separate room, when determined to be necessary. Where such a detern1ination is made, special measures 1nust be put in place to ensure no party is unfairly disadvantaged by this procedure. A party must still give testimony in the presence of the Panel, and the opposing party must have the opportunity to view the testimony remotely and to submit follow-up questions. 6. Similarly, where the Title IX Coordinator determines that a witness or party necessary to the proceedings is unavailable and unable to be present due to exigent circumstances (e.g., on a study abroad program, medical restrictions on travel, etc.), he or she may establish special procedures for providing testimony from a separate location. In doing so, the Title IX Coordinator must determine there is a valid basis for the unavailability, ensure proper sequestration in a manner that ensures the testimony has not been tainted, and make a determination that such an arrangement will not unfairly disadvantage any parties. Should it be reasonably believed that a party or witness who is not physically present has presented tainted testimony to the Panel, the Panel will disregard the testimony of that witness. 7. The standard of review shall be a preponderance of the evidence; however, any decision to suspend or to expel a student must also be supported by substantial evidence at the hearing. 8. The civil rules of evidence do not apply to the investigatory or resolution process, 9. Both the respondent and alleged victim shall be provided a written report via college email of the outcome and any resulting sanctions. The written report must summarize the evidence in support of the sanction. The report should include details on how to appeal, as outlined below.
Possible Sanctions The severity of sanctions or corrective actions may depend on the severity, frequency and/or nature of the offense, history of past discriminatory, harassing, or retaliatory conduct, the respondent's willingness to accept responsibility, previous institutional response to similar conduct, and the institution's interests. The Panel will detern1ine the sanction after review of the investigatory findings.
The broad range of sanctions for students includes but Is not limited to: expulsion; suspension for an identified thne frame or until satisfaction of certain conditions, or both; temporary or permanent separation of the parties (e.g., change in classes, reassignment of residence, no contact orders, limiting geography of where parties can go on campus) with additional sanctions for violating orders: required participation in sexual or relationship sensitivity training/awareness education programs; required participation in alcohol and other drug awareness and abuse prevention programs; counseling or mentoring; volunteering/community service; loss of institutional privileges: delays in obtaining administrativo services and benefits from the institution (e.g., holding transcripts, delaying registration, graduation, diplomas): additional academic requirements relating to scholarly work or research on sexual misconduct; financial restitution; or any other discretionary sanctions directly related to the violation or conduct. For employee respondents the range of sanctions includes but is not limited to termination, suspension, reassignment of job duties or job location, no contact orders, required training or awareness programs, counseling, loss of institutional privileges or any co,nbinalion of the above based on the offense.
V. Appeals
Parties shall have the right to appeal the outcome on any of the following grounds: (1) to consider new information, sufficient to alter the decision, or other relevant facts not brought out in the original hearing, because such information was not known or knowable to the person appealing during the time of the hearing; (2) to allege a procedural error within the hearing process that may have substantially impacted the fairness of the hearing, including but not limited to whether any hearing questions were improperly excluded or whether the decision was tainted by bias; or (3) to allege that the finding was inconsistent with the weight of the information. Appeals rnay be made by the alleged offender for the above reasons in any case where sanctions are issued - even those in which such sanctions are held "in abeyance," such as probationary suspension or expulsion.

VI. Recusal / Challenge for Bias
Any pa11y may challenge the participation of any college official or employee in the process on the grounds of personal bias by submitting a written statement to the institution's designee setting forth the basis for the challenge. The written challenge should be submitted within a reasonable time after the individual reasonably should have known of the existence of the bias.
