In accordance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, the following letter is delivered regularly to all University of Oregon students:
Dear Student,
The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 requires that all institutions of higher education receiving any form of financial assistance to provide each student the following:
- written information regarding applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding alcohol possession and use;
- campus policies and standards of conduct regarding alcohol and drug use and the related sanctions
- a description of health risks associated with the use of alcohol and drugs and
- a description of treatment and counseling programs available on campus.
We have approximately 20,000 students on our campus-the majority of who do not misuse or abuse alcohol or other drugs. Like many campuses and communities across the nation, however, the University of Oregon does have students who misuse and abuse these substances. The illegal use and abuse of alcohol or other drugs by these students interferes with the academic learning process and places the safety of individuals and the campus community at risk.
The following link to the Office of Student Life website provides a list of policies, programs, and information that is distributed to all students: substance abuse homepage.

I strongly encourage you to read the information in its entirety. All students are expected to be aware of the information contained in the document. If you have any questions, please call the Office of Student Life at (541) 346-1156.
I wish you continued success throughout the remainder of this academic year.
Sincerely,
Mike Eyster
Interim Vice President for Student Affairs
