Alcohol policy guidelines now include visitors

Campus visitors must follow the same alcohol use guidelines as employees and students, thanks to a new campus alcohol policy. The policy was announced by President Wayne Clough in a letter to deans and department heads last week.

“We felt it was important that all people on campus play by the same rules when it comes to using alcohol. This policy is designed to complement the existing employee and student alcohol policies,” said Vice President of Student Affairs Lee Wilcox.

According to the new rules, alcohol cannot be present at any event or activity without prior authorization by the president’s office or his delegates. The delegates include Provost Jean-Lou Chameau, Senior Vice President for Administration and Finance Bob Thompson, Executive Director of the Alumni Association Joe Irwin, Director of the Athletic Association Dave Braine and Wilcox.

Campus departments and units may also have additional rules on the use of alcohol in their facilities.

In addition, tailgating is allowed for official Georgia Tech sporting events, but is limited to three hours before and after the event. Kegs and common containers for alcohol are not permitted at tailgate parties on campus.

The policy also mandates that student attendance at events where alcohol is served must be completely voluntary.

Copies of the new policy as well as the existing student and employee alcohol and drug policies are available from Wilcox’s office or the drug policy coordinator in the Office of Human Resources.
