Davidson College shall take all actions necessary and consistent with state and federal law and college policy, to eliminate the illegal use of drugs, including alcohol, within the college community.  In keeping with its mission, Davidson college will utilize educational strategies as its major approach to this problem; however one should be aware that any member of the college community, who uses illegal drugs or abuses any drug, including alcohol, might be subject to prosecution and punishment by police or civil authorities and to disciplinary proceedings by the college. Trafficking in illegal drugs is particularly offensive and the penalties reflect this judgment. Nevertheless, this policy does not seek punitive punishment for those who seek rehabilitation. All information provided by those who voluntarily avail themselves of drug or alcohol counseling or rehabilitation services will be confidential.
