OU-HCOM Policy
and Guidelines for Serving
Alcoholic Beverages
at Student Events |
|
| |
|
|
OU-HCOM, being a college part of
Ohio University, adheres to the Ohio University
alcohol policy. Ohio University and the Heritage College of
Osteopathic Medicine recognize that the decision to
use alcoholic beverages is a personal one, in part
regulated by the laws of the state of Ohio, city
ordinances, and policy of Ohio University, as well
as standards of responsible behavior consistent with
the mission of the University and the Heritage College of
Osteopathic Medicine. In general, University policy
allows sale or use of alcoholic beverages in living
units and at campus events only if the majority of
those in attendance are of legal age. No sale
or use is permitted at outdoor events that are open
to the public. |
|
|
|
|
These policies apply to all use
and sale of alcoholic beverages on the Ohio
University campus. Policies exist for:
- Use on campus
- Sale on campus
- Use in residence halls
|
|
|
|
|
|
All functions and events which
are (1) sponsored by the OU-HCOM or any of its
student organizations, (2) carry OU-HCOM’s name, or
(3) are authorized by an OU-HCOM representative, will
follow Ohio University Policy and Procedure No.
24.001* on the use/sale of alcoholic beverages
on Ohio University property with the following
exception: In order to determine the maximum amount
of alcohol to be purchased and/or provided for a
non-sale event, the following formula will be used:
Beer – 12 oz., Wine – 6 oz., Liquor – 1 oz. per hour
of the event per person of legal age, but in no case
shall the amount of alcohol exceed TWO servings
per person of legal age per event. Ohio University
policy has a FOUR-drink limit. |
|
|
|
|
Student organizations that
sponsor off-campus events are expected to adhere to
state law, city ordinances, and policy of Ohio
University, including, without limitation, the Ohio
University Student Code of Conduct and the
guidelines contained within this policy.
Organizations found to have violated any state law,
city ordinance or Ohio University policy may be
subjected to the loss of registered status.
Organizational officers and advisors who are
sponsoring off campus events assume all legal and
financial responsibility. The University is
unable to defend them if legal charges are filed
against them resulting from the event. |
|
|
|
|
A student organization advisor or
college representative may “sign off” on payment
vouchers for food for an off campus event at which
alcohol is served (note: advisors/representatives
may not approve payment for alcohol either on or
off campus). |
