At the same time, the prime consideration is to preserve the reputation and integrity of the University and the student body as a whole. While the Student’s Union is concerned primarily with the conduct of Laurier students and the prevention of property damage, it is important to recognize that the repercussions of events relating to alcohol apply to the University community as a whole. The following information is designed to regulate the activities of the Laurier campus community at any University or Students’ Union sponsored off-campus event in order to minimize any liability and maximize the safety of those participants in said events. General Guidelines 1. Students’ Union or Wilfrid Laurier University sponsored and/or endorsed off-campus activities must be registered with the Students’ Union Brantford Operations Manager and EVP: Brantford twenty-one (21) days prior to the event. 2. Registration of each off-campus activity is required prior to advertising the activity. All advertising on or off campus must be approved and stamped by the Brantford Operations Manager and EVP: Brantford’s offices. 3. It will be the responsibility of each individual participating in the event to accept the authority of the Event Leader and ensure that his/her own behaviour is consistent with that outlined in the WLU Student Code of Conduct. 4. Tickets for off-campus activities shall bear the following: Ticket holders are bound by the WLU Alcoholic Beverages 5. 6. Policy. Tickets must be approved by the Brantford Operations Manager and EVP: Brantford prior to their distribution on or off campus. If it is felt that a student has not abided by the foregoing regulations, he/she shall be referred to the Student Conduct Board. Problems which may arise with faculty, staff, or other personnel of Wilfrid Laurier University with respect to the Campus Alcohol Policy will be handled by the Office of the President. Transportation Guidelines 7. For every twenty-five (25) people travelling to or from an event in a Student’s Union or Wilfrid Laurier University 8. 9. sponsored vehicle, there must be one (1) person recognized as the Bus Leader. It is the responsibility of the Bus Leader to ensure that student behaviour is consistent with that outlined in the WLU Student Handbook. The consumption of alcoholic beverages is NOT permitted in any Student’s Union or Wilfrid Laurier University sponsored vehicle. Procedures for loading and unloading people from these vehicles must be submitted in writing and approved by the Brantford Operations Manager and EVP: Brantford prior to the event. I hereby commit to ensuring that the rules and regulations will be adhered to throughout the duration of my event. Add excerpt from alcohol policy to the bottom of this. Add the point about committee members not allowed to drink at event.
