Indiana State U (in Terre Haute) has revised its Code of Conduct for the 2010-11 school year, a local new source reports. Supposedly there are significant changes dealing with underage alcohol consumption / possession, and disruptive behavior, etc. that is fueled by alcohol – on or off campus. Reportedly the Code of Conduct provisions regarding hazing have also been strengthened.
Just thought that ISU chapter advisors, chapter officers, local or regional lawyers on retainer, and concerned alumni/ae would want to be aware so they can delve into the details and the implications for ISU Greeks, if they wish.

Excerpts:
Trustees on Friday approved a new university alcoholic beverage policy and revised its Code of Student Conduct.
The changes “more specifically address the role of alcohol consumption in student misconduct, including misconduct which may occur outside university property.”
. . . . The university’s new alcoholic beverage policy, approved Friday, states as follows:
• ISU considers underage purchase, possession or consumption of alcohol a violation of the Code of Student Conduct, whether that conduct occurs on or off university owned/controlled property.
• ISU will pursue disciplinary action with students or employees who furnish alcoholic beverages to persons who are under age 21, whether such conduct occurs on or off university owned/controlled property.
• The policy also deals with misuse and abuse of alcoholic beverages. “When dangerous, irresponsible, disruptive or abusive behavior is influenced by inappropriate use of alcoholic beverages, ISU may impose more rigorous student or employee disciplinary measures than those that may normally be associated with such misconduct, regardless of whether the misconduct occurred on or off university owned/controlled property.”
The policy further states that “the university will also pursue disciplinary action against students or employees who are determined to have furnished alcoholic beverages to a person who is known or suspected to be already intoxicated.”
The changes in the Code of Student Conduct will be effective for the 2010-11 academic year. . . .
