College of Business - Alcohol Purchasing Policy
State money cannot be used for the purchase of alcohol. Only discretionary funds can be used for this purpose.
The College of Business cannot be part of sponsoring any domestic event where we pay for alcohol for students. For international programs, alcohol consumption may be purchased in the context of cultural norms. For example, alcohol may be involved in meals or cultural events. In these situations, faculty will reinforce the need for responsible behavior with regards to alcohol consumption in professional situations.
The University is very concerned about its liability towards student drinking while faculty are present. We cannot prevent students from buying drinks with their own money but we can tell them to act responsibly and we can indicate our disapproval if they drink excessively and we obviously need to be concerned for their safety.
