Medical Amnesty/Good Samaritan Statement Santa Clara University encourages students to offer help and assistance to other students in need, both on and off campus. Sometimes students are hesitant to offer assistance to other students because they fear that they may be charged with policy violations or that the student needing medical attention may receive judicial sanctions. For example, an underage student who has been drinking might hesitate to seek help from Campus Safety, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), or a Community Facilitator (CF) for someone who may be suffering from alcohol intoxication and/or alcohol poisoning. The Medical Amnesty statement allows the reduction of judicial consequences for students who receive medical attention due to alcohol intoxication and/or alcohol poisoning. This statement applies to violations that occur on and off campus, and will require documentation by Campus Safety, EMS, law enforcement, and/or emergency personnel. The Good Samaritan statement allows the elimination of judicial consequences for a student(s) who may be under the influence of alcohol and who make(s) a good-faith call for medical help on the behalf of a fellow student. This statement applies to violations that occur on and off campus and will require documentation by Campus Safety, EMS, law enforcement, and/or emergency personnel. The Good Samaritan statement is not limited to alcoholrelated incidents and also encourages witnesses of assault, vandalism, and other violations of the Student Conduct Code to report such events.
