GOOD SAMARITAN POLICY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Objective<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0 To save lives and acknowledge that student health and welfare are essential.<\/p>\n

Philosophy Statement<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 The College takes pride in the partnership that exists between students and the officials who respond to emergency situations.\u00a0 The health and safety of students as it relates to critical incidents regarding alcohol and other drug use, misuse, and abuse are of paramount concern; especially when the individual is in need of timely medical assistance.\u00a0 Students must never hesitate to contact authorities when they suspect they themselves, another student, or a non-student is in need of urgent medical care stemming from their use of alcohol or other drugs because they are concerned that the incident may lead to disciplinary actions for themselves or others.\u00a0 In case of emergency students must call the Public Safety Department, (201) 684-6666, a Resident Assistant, or dial 911 from a cellphone.<\/p>\n
