The DFSCA recognizes the serious negative consequences of drug and alcohol use on academic performance, student well-being, and campus prevention efforts. This requires higher education institutions to actively (affirmative consent) notify all students, faculty, staff, and other employees to be notified annually of the pertinent alcohol and drug laws on the following levels: federal, state, local city/parish, and campus through an Annual Notification.
Based on a 2014 summit presentation from Dr. Eric S. Davidson from Eastern Illinois University and the Illinois Higher Education Coalition (IHEC), we have provided templates to help institutions complete their federally mandated reporting.
The handbook Complying with the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Regulations can be found here, while the suggestedannual notification template can be found here.
If your institution would like to request an on-campus training on the DFSCA, please email the LaCASU office.
