Biennial Review
of the
Lane College Alcohol and Other Drugs Program

The Drug Free Schools and Campuses Regulations (34 CFR Part 86) of the Drug-Free
Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) require an institution of higher education (IHE)
such as Lane College to certify it has adopted and implemented programs to prevent
the abuse of alcohol and use or distribution of illicit drugs both by Lane students and
employees both on its premises and as a part of any of its activities. At a minimum each
IHE must annually distribute the following in writing to all students and employees:
• Standards of conduct that clearly prohibit the unlawful possession, use or
distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees;
• A description of the legal sanctions under local, state, or federal law for the
unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol;
• A description of any drug or alcohol counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation or
re-entry programs that are available to employees or students;
• A clear statement that the institution will impose sanctions on students and
employees and a description of those sanctions, up to and including expulsion
or termination of employment and referral for prosecution, for violations of the
standards of conduct.
The law further requires that the institution conduct a biennial review of its program with
the following objectives:

Determine that the effectiveness of the policy and implementing changes to the
Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) program if they are needed; and,

Ensure that the sanctions developed are enforced consistently.
The biennial review must also include a determination as to:

the number of drug- and alcohol-related violations and fatalities occurring on the
campus or as part of their activities that are reported to campus officials; and,

the number and type of sanctions the IHEs impose on students or employees as
a result of such violations or fatalities.

compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act and authorized an
administrative review to be conducted to determine if the College fulfills the

• Standards of conduct that clearly prohibit the unlawful possession, use or
distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees;
• A description of the legal sanctions under local, state, or federal law for the

re-entry programs that are available to employees or students; and,
