HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ALCOHOL

Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse.

Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions.

Alcohol withdrawal can be life threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver.

Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics.

APPENDIX 7

BIAS RELATED CRIMES & ACTS PREVENTION

Hate Crimes and Bias Acts

It is a State University of New York at Delhi (SUNY Delhi) University Police mandate to protect all members of the Delhi community by preventing and prosecuting bias or hate crimes that occur within the campus’ jurisdiction. Hate crimes, also called bias crimes or bias-related crimes, are criminal activity motivated by the perpetrator’s bias or attitude against an individual victim or group based on perceived or actual personal characteristics, such as their race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Hate/bias crimes have received renewed attention in recent years, particularly since the passage of the federal Hate/Bias Crime Reporting Act of 1190 and the New York State Hate Crimes Act of 2000 (Penal Law Article 485). Copies of the New York law are available from University Police or the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities.

Penalties for bias-related crimes are very serious and range from fines to imprisonment for lengthy periods, depending on the nature of the underlying criminal offense, the use of violence or previous convictions of the offender. Perpetrators who are students will also be subject to campus disciplinary procedures where sanctions including dismissal are possible. In addition to preventing and prosecuting hate/bias crimes, SUNY Delhi University Police also assist in addressing bias-related activities that do not rise to the level of crime. The activities, referred to as bias incidents and defined by the University as acts of bigotry, harassment, or intimidation directed at a member or group within the Delhi community based on national origin, ethnicity, race, age, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, color, creed, or marital status, may be addressed through the State University’s Discrimination Complaint Procedure or the campus conduct code. Bias incidents can be reported to University Police as well as to Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunities Office at (607) 746-4495.

If you are a victim of, or witness to, a hate/bias crime on campus, report it to University Police in an emergency, using a Blue Light or other campus emergency phone, by calling 4700, or stopping by North Hall. University Police will investigate and follow the appropriate adjudication procedures. Victims of bias crime or bias incidents can avail themselves of counseling and support services from the Office of Health and Counseling Services. The Counseling Center offers confidential services free of charge to all students at SUNY Delhi and all discussions with the Counselors are confidential.

For general information on SUNY Delhi security procedures see the SUNY Delhi University Police website, or call (607) 746-4700. More information about bias-related and bias crimes, including up-to-date statistics on bias crimes is available from University Police at (607) 746-4700. You may also utilize the bias report form found on the SUNY Delhi website under diversity, equity & inclusion or student rights & responsibilities. The Bias Acts Response Team will investigate and develop appropriate responses to bias incidents.

(b) In the case of any other violator, who is neither a student nor faculty or other staff member, the chief administrative officer or his/her designee shall inform him/her that he/she is not authorized to remain on the campus or other property of the institution and direct him/her to leave such premises. In the event of his/her failure or refusal to do so, such officer shall cause his/her ejection from such campus or property. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to authorize the presence of any such person at any time prior to such violation or to affect his /her liability to prosecution for trespass or loitering as prescribed in the Penal Law.

(a) The chief administrative officer shall be responsible for the enforcement of these rules (or the rules of any individual institution supplementing or implementing these rules) and he/she shall designate the other administrative officers who are authorized to take action in accordance with such rules when required or appropriate to carry them into effect.

(b) It is not intended by any provision herein to curtail the right of students, faculty or staff to be heard on any matter affecting them in their relations with the institution. In the case of any apparent violation of these rules (or the rules of any individual institution supplementing or implementing these rules) by such persons, which, in the judgment of the chief administrative officer or his/her designee, does not pose any immediate threat of injury to person or property, such officer may make reasonable effort to learn the cause of the conduct in question and to persuade those engaged therein to desist and to resort to permissible methods for the resolution of any issue that may be presented. In doing so, such officer shall warn such persons of the consequences of persistence in the prohibited conduct, including their ejection from any premises of the institution where their continued presence and conduct is in violation of these rules (or the rules of any individual institution supplementing or implementing these rules).

(c) In any case where violation of these rules (or the rules of any individual institution supplementing or implementing these rules) does not cease after such warning and in other cases of willful violation of such rules, the chief administrative officer or his/her designee shall cause the ejection of the violator from any premises that he/she occupies in such violation and shall initiate disciplinary action as hereinbefore provided.

  1. Communication. In matters of the sort to which these rules are addressed, full and prompt communication among all components of the institutional community, faculty, students and administration, is highly desirable. To the extent that time and circumstances permit, such communication should precede the exercise of the authority, discretion and responsibilities granted and imposed in these rules. To these ends, each State operated institution of the State University shall employ such procedures and means, formal and informal, as will promote such communication.
  2. Notice, hearing and determination of charges against students.*

(a) The term chief administrative officer, as used in these rules, shall be deemed to mean and include any person authorized to exercise the powers of the incumbent and for purposes of this section shall also include any designee appointed by said officer.

(b) Whenever a complaint is made to the chief administrative officer of any State operated institution of the University of a violation by a student or students of the rules prescribed in this Part (or any rules adopted by an individual institution supplementing or implementing such rules) or whenever he/she has knowledge that such a violation may have occurred, if any, and of other persons having knowledge of the facts reduced to writing. If he/she is satisfied from such investigation and statements that there is reasonable ground to believe that there has been such a violation, he/she shall prepare or cause to be prepared charges against the student or students alleged to have committed such violation, which shall state the provision prescribing the offense and shall specify the ultimate facts alleged to constitute such offense.

(c) Such charges shall be in writing and shall be served on the student or students named therein by delivering the same to him/her or them personally, if possible, or, if not, by mailing a copy of such charges by registered mail to such student or students at his/her or their usual place or places of abode while attending college and also to his/her or their home address or addresses, if different.

(d) The notice of charges so serviced shall fix a date for hearing thereon not less than 10 or more than 15 days from the date of service, which shall be the date of mailing where necessary to effect service by mail. Failure to appear in response to the charges on the date fixed for hearing, unless there has been a continuance for good cause shown, shall be deemed to be an admission of the facts stated in such charges and shall warrant such action as may then be appropriate thereon. Before taking such action, the hearing committee, herein after referred to, shall give notice to any student who has failed to appear, in the manner prescribed in subdivision (c), of its proposed findings and recommendations to be submitted to the chief administrative officer and shall so submit such findings and recommendations 10 days thereafter unless the student has meanwhile shown good cause for his/her failure to appear, in which case a date for hearing shall be fixed.

(e) Upon demand at any time before or at the hearing, the student charged or his/her representative, duly designated, shall be furnished a copy of the statements taken by the chief administrative officer in relation to such charges and with the names of any other witnesses who will be produced at the hearing in support of the charges; provided, however, that this shall not preclude the testimony of witnesses who were unknown at the time of such demand.

(f) The chief administrative officer may, upon the services of charges, suspend the student named therein, pending the hearing and determination thereof whenever, in his/her judgment, the continued presence of such student would constitute a clear danger to himself/herself or to the safety of persons or property on the premises of the institution or would pose an immediate threat of disruptive interference with the normal conduct of the institution's activities and functions; provided, however, that the chief administrative officer shall grant an immediate hearing on request of any student so suspended with respect to the basis for such suspension.

(g) There shall be constituted at each State operated institution, a hearing committee to hear charges against such students or violation of the rules for maintenance of public order prescribed by or referred to in this Part. Such committee shall consist of three members of the administrative staff and three members of the faculty, designated by the chief administrative officer, and three students who shall be designated by the members named by the chief administrative officer. Each such member shall serve until his/her successor or replacement has been designated. No member of the committee shall serve in any case in which he/she is a witness or is or has been directly involved in the events upon which the charges are based. In order to provide for cases where there may be such a disqualification and for cases of absence or disability, the chief administrative officer shall designate an alternate member of the administrative staff and an alternate member of the faculty, and his/her principal designees shall designate an alternate student member, to serve in such cases. Any five members of the committee may conduct hearings and make findings and recommendations as hereinafter provided. At any institution where the chief administrative officer determines that the number of hearings that will be required to be held is, or may be, so great that they cannot otherwise be disposed of with reasonable speed, he/she may determine that the hearing committee shall consist of six members of the administrative staff and six members of the faculty to be designated by him/her and of six students who shall be designated by him/her. In such event, the chief administrative officer shall designate one of such members as chairperson who may divide the membership of the committee into three divisions, each to consist of two members of the administrative staff, two faculty members and two students and may assign charges among such divisions for hearing. Any four members of each such division may conduct hearings and make recommendations as hereinafter provided.

(h) The hearing committee shall not be bound by the technical rules of evidence, but may hear or receive any testimony or evidence that is relevant and material to the issues presented by the charges and that will contribute to a full and fair consideration thereof and determination thereon. A student against whom the charges are made may appear by and with representatives of his/her choice. He/she may confront and examine witnesses against him/her and may produce witnesses and documentary evidence in his/her own behalf. There may be present at the hearing: the student charged and his/her representatives and witnesses; other witnesses; representatives of the institutional administration; and, unless the student shall request a closed hearing, such other members of the institutional community or other persons, or both, as may be admitted by the hearing committee. A transcript of the proceedings shall be made.

(i) Within 20 days after the close of a hearing, the hearing committee shall submit a report of its findings of fact and recommendations for disposition of the charges to the chief administrative officer, together with a transcript of the proceedings, and shall at the same time transmit a copy of its report to the student concerned or his/her representative. Within 10 days thereafter, the chief administrative officer shall make his/her determination thereon. Final authority to dismiss the charges or to determine the guilt of those against whom they are made and to expel, suspend or otherwise discipline them, shall be vested in the chief administrative officer. If he/she shall reject the findings of the hearing committee in whole or in part, he/she shall make new findings that must be based on substantial evidence in the record and shall include them in the notice of his/her final determination, which shall be served upon the student or students with respect to whom it is made.

The response shall be submitted to the chief administrative office and shall constitute the formal denial or affirmation of the ultimate facts alleged in the charge. The chief administrative officer may allow an extension of the 1 0 day response period.
