Student health and safety is a primary concern for the campus community. Students are expected to contact Residential Life or Campus Safety when it is believed an individual needs medical attention due to the abuse of alcohol or other drugs including prescription, over-the-counter, or other.
The Good Samaritan Protocol is designed to provide education rather than discipline when a student voluntarily contacts university personnel or outside emergency services for medical assistance related to alcohol or other drugs.
Individuals covered by the Good Samaritan Protocol are the caller, the person in need of assistance, the host Student organization, and any witnesses named in the incident report.
Nazareth strongly encourages everyone to report Title IX and sexual misconduct concerns to campus officials. The University recognizes that students who have been drinking and/or using drugs (whether such use is voluntary or involuntary) at the time an incident occurs may be hesitant to report such incidents due to fear of potential consequences for their own conduct.
A reporting individual acting in good faith or a bystander acting in good faith that discloses any incident of Title IX to the University’s officials or law enforcement will not be subject to action under Nazareth’s Code of Conduct for violations of alcohol and/or drug use policies.
