Alcohol HOSTING SOCIAL EVENTS WITH ALCOHOL
9
Denison afrms students’ capacity to make responsible choices and supports students’ desire to engage with one another during social events that may include alcohol. As articulated in the Alcohol and Other Drug Policy and the Code of Student Conduct, students are permitted to host social events on campus. The Party Registration and Hosting Policy (“Hosting Policy”) was developed in collaboration by students, faculty, and staf and is reviewed annually to create autonomy for student event hosts during social gatherings, facilitate alcohol use risk reduction, and empower students to create a safe, respectful, and enjoyable social environment for members of the community. Students who host a social event with alcohol in an approved social space are expected to abide by these procedures and expectations. The Social Event Hosting Policy does not replace, but rather, supplements, University policies. The Code of Student Conduct and all policies in the Student Handbook apply to events. The expectations for campus organizations in the Campus Organization Handbook or national organization standards also apply; campus organizations should refer to both documents when planning events. Please read the full Social Event Hosting Policy for further information on: • Defning Social Event Spaces and Hosts • Responsibilities of the Host Group - Event Expectations • Registration Process • Host Group Member Eligibility • 2020-2021 Registration Dates Events with alcohol, both on-campus and of-campus, must be registered through both the Event Registration Form and the Party Registration Form. For events hosted by organizations, each organization may submit three (3) advance special event requests per semester, as early as the start of each semester, by contacting Brent Smith. This allows organizations to plan major events in advance and work with national and external supports as needed. Otherwise, the form may be submitted between 4-72 hours in advance of the anticipated event. During the 2020-2021 academic year, event and party registration is suspended due to COVID-19. We are doing so in an attempt to limit large social gatherings per the direction of the Licking County Board of Health. We anticipate reinstituting the registration system as soon as we are cleared to resume normal operations. Student Activity Fee & Campus Organization Funds The Student Activity Fee collected by the University and a portion of which is given to Denison Campus Governance Association (DCGA) to be allocated to various campus organizations, cannot be used for the purchase of alcohol, either directly or indirectly. External revenue accounts can likewise not be sued for the purchase of alcohol. Publicity All advertising for alcohol-related events must be in compliance with established guidelines for campus organizations, for more information, see Section 6: Advertising & Promotions. Postings for these events must not promote the presence of alcohol or drugs at the event, including activities that might imply the use of alcohol (i.e., drinking games or contests). No images of alcohol may be featured in promotions. Organizations found to be in violation of these advertising procedures risk having their events cancelled. Food & Beverage All information regarding food being served at events with alcohol is located here.
