It is the responsibility of the student to set the meeting with the appropriate offices. It is the responsibility of the student to disclose to the
director of wellness education when the meetings are complete (a completed Amnesty Form must be turned in within two weeks of the
transport).
CALLING ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE
INDIVIDUAL - An individual who calls for emergency assistance on behalf of a person experiencing an alcohol-related emergency will not
be subject to conduct action by Smith College for the following Code violations in relation to the incident: use, possession and distribution of
alcoholic beverages, and public intoxication.
ORGANIZATION - A representative of an organization hosting an event is expected to promptly call for medical assistance in an alcohol-
related emergency. This act of responsibility will mitigate the conduct consequences against the organization resulting from Code violations
that may have occurred at the time of the incident. Likewise, failure to call for medical assistance in an alcohol-related emergency will be
considered an "aggravating circumstance" if conduct board action is taken in response to other Conduct Code violations.
REPEATED INCIDENTS
Consistent with putting the student's health first, the College will approach repeated incidents as a serious health risk. While amnesty from the
conduct process may be applied, a meeting with the dean of students and possible notification of parents or guardians may also result.
Repeated failure to seek assistance by an organization will result in conduct board action, and possibly organization probation or suspension.
