  • Alcohol on Campus: Who's Responsible for the Party?
    ALCOHOL ON CAMPUS: WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PARTY? Deliberation Guide Introduction Ronald Thomas, Natasha Roberts, India Smith Alcohol and America have a love/ hate relationship. Americans love to consume alcohol which is why the temperance movement could not stop the population from drinking. Drinking is associated with many of societies’ traditions and norms. At football and baseball games many enjoy ice cold beers, on New Year’s many celebrate the new year with champagne, a nice dinner with friends or coworkers involves nice wine and let’s not forget about the big 21st birthday. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that in the U.S. 51% of adults 18 and over are current relevant drinkers (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/alcohol.htm). This fact helps show that alcohol consumption is the norm which is why the prohibition of alcohol was unsuccessful. Americans love to drink! Alcohol is considered a gateway drug that has led to many fatal and horrid incidents in America. In 2012, 10,322 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (31%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $59 billion according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, according to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, 36% of those under correctional supervision at the time were drinking at the time of their conviction offense. To add to that, federal research shows that for the 40% of convicted murderers being held in either jail or state prison, alcohol use was a factor in the homicide.

  • Alcohol Policies & Expectations
    Alcohol Policies & Expectations DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY ITALIAN CAMPUS PROGRAM THE RESIDENCE LIFE HANDBOOK The Duquesne University Residence Life Handbook (http://www.duq.edu/Documents/residence- life/_pdf/Residence_Life_Handbook.pdf) is clear about on what is not allowed by students as a Duquesne University student: “All students of legal drinking age are responsible for their actions while drinking alcoholic beverages, including being intoxicated while being in public. Any student may be cited by a University official for public intoxication. It is to the University official's discretion whether or not a student may be considered publicly intoxicated. Public intoxication includes, but is not limited to, endangering the safety of other students or the self. All alcohol policy violations will result in disciplinary action and/or educational programming by Duquesne CARES.” (pg. 4) – YOU ARE NEVER TO BE INTOXICATED/DRUNK. THE ALCOHOL AGREEMENT POLICY The Alcohol Agreement Policy, which you all signed and is available to you in your Italian Campus Student Handbook (pg. 35 & 36) is clear in section “3” when it states: “Each student is responsible for knowing the country’s laws, Duquesne University’s rules, the Italian Campus rules, and understand one’s own personal limits before using or consuming alcoholic beverages.” – YOU MUST UNDERSTAND AND KNOW YOUR OWN LIMITS AND NOT EXCEED THEM. AMENDMENTS The Amendments to the Duquesne University Residence Life Handbook (pg. 28-29 of the Italian Campus Student Handbook) is clear that the Italian Campus is a “dry campus”: “No alcohol is allowed on the actual Italian Campus, except for special events when alcohol will be provided by the Italian Campus staff.
