Alcohol and Other Drug Outcomes Framework

This framework provides guidelines for a consistent and practical approach to assigning outcomes. Guidelines are designed to be flexible and should not be interpreted as prescriptive policy. Hearing officers/boards may modify outcomes as deemed appropriate. If a single incident involves multiple distinct violations, outcomes will typically be cumulative.

Example: An incident involving both use of marijuana and covering a smoke detector will typically have an increased disciplinary status and educational requirements.
