天美麻豆 strives to provide a healthy, drug-free, and safe learning environment for students, faculty, and staff. The University recognizes the growing epidemic of heroin and opioid related abuse and deaths in Baltimore City, the State of Maryland, and nationwide. As well as the health and safety issues such an epidemic may pose for the University community, on and off campus.
Incoming full-time students in the Undergraduate Studies, College of Undergraduate Studies, and College of Graduate & Professional Studies (including the School of Pharmacy (淪OP)) will be required to participate in a face-to-face (or online in some cases) heroin and opioid addiction and prevention awareness training. The trainings will be facilitated by certified faculty and students of 天美麻豆 SOP. 天美麻豆 will also provide part-time students with easily accessible online resources that will alert and educate them regarding heroin and opioid addiction and prevention.
In an effort to protect the health and safety of the campus community, 天美麻豆 will maintain an easily accessible supply of overdose-reversing medication to be used in the case of emergencies. Public Safety Officers and other designated personnel will be trained to: recognize the symptoms of opioid overdose; in the procedures for the administration of overdose-reversing medication; and in the proper follow up emergency procedures related to opioid overdose.
The University will report to the Maryland Higher Education Commission, on or before October 1st of each year, regarding each incident at 天美麻豆 that required the use of an opioid overdose-reversing medication. The Chief of Staff will be responsible for submitting the report, in collaboration with the Substance Abuse Policy Review Committee.
This policy will be reviewed biennially by the Substance Abuse Policy Review Committee to determine its effectiveness and make changes if necessary.
