(The text of this policy is set out in the appendix.) East Carolina University, in keeping with its primary purpose of education, will utilize educational strategies as its major approach to drug use and abuse problems. Educational and counseling programs are available to all members of the academic community.

Any member of the university community who violates that law is subject to both prosecution and punishment by the civil authorities and to disciplinary proceedings by the university. Penalties will be imposed by the university in accordance with procedural safeguards applicable to disciplinary actions against students, faculty members, administrators, and other employees. These penalties to be imposed by the university may range from written warnings with probationary status to expulsions from enrollment and discharges from employment.
