Alcohol and Other Drug Policies
Bentley supports the observance of all laws and regulations governing the sale, purchase, serving and consumption of alcoholic beverages by all members of the community and expects that these laws are adhered to at all events associated with the college, both on and off campus. Included among these laws are those that govern driving under the influence of alcohol, the purchase of alcohol by and for individuals under the legal drinking age, the procurement of alcohol through illegal means, public intoxication, and the serving of alcohol to people who are either underage or intoxicated. The college does not intend through its policies to restrict responsible use of alcohol by members of the college community who are of legal drinking age in Massachusetts.
Penalties for violating the alcohol policy of Bentley include but are not limited to warnings and probations, fines, educational seminars, parental notification and educational community service projects. It is hoped that education will help students understand more about the residual effects of alcohol both physically and socially. Alcohol violations may also result in suspension or expulsion from the college. Penalties are levied on a per-person basis.
Please refer to the Alcohol and Other Drugs Resources Section for more information on the legal and health risks associated with drug abuse.
