LIBI’s primary focus and priority is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students and employees. An important component of this commitment is the prevention of substance abuse by members of the LIBI community. Substance abuse obstructs learning, teaching and personal development. However, there are also serious criminal and disciplinary implications for students and employees who use, manufacture, or sell controlled or illicit substances on any of LIBI’s properties, at LIBI sponsored events, or while representing the college. This notification recognizes LIBI’s responsibility to implement and enforce alcohol and drug regulations that are consistent with New York State laws.
