Brief Description of Proposed Rule or Amendments

BOG Talent and Culture Rule 3.4 - Drug and Alcohol Testing for FTA and FMSCA Covered Positions

Amend and Approve

  • The Board adopted this Rule on September 8, 2017, as part of the initial wave of BOG Rules under the Freedom Agenda.

  • The proposed amendments are minor clerical changes to better reflect the University’s current process with drug and alcohol testing on campus and clarify the categories of positions that the Rule applies to.

  • As such, the proposed amendments seek to (1) add a new Section 1.3 to give express authority to the President or designee to create a drug testing policy for positions that do not fall within the scope of the Rule, which includes UPD Officers; (2) amend Section 2.1.4 to update the contact information for the University office responsible for administering drug and alcohol tests under the Rule; and (3) amend Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 to more clearly define which University positions do not fall within the scope of the Rule.
