The Drug Free Schools and Campus Regulations (34 CFR Part 86) of the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) require an institution of higher education (IHE) such as the ENMU Portales to certify it has implemented programs to prevent the abuse of alcohol and use or distribution of illicit drugs both by ENMU Portales students and employees, both on its premises and as a part of any of its activities.
ENMU, in compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1990, does not condone illicit possession, use, or distribution of controlled substances or alcohol. ENMU is committed to drug and alcohol education for students and employees and takes an active approach toward the health and safety of all members of the University community.
ENMU alcohol and drug policy 40-13 and the entries in the Student Code of Conduct are in keeping with the educational mission of the institution and applicable state and federal laws governing controlled substances. The policy applies to the illegal possession, distribution and abuse of alcohol, drugs and controlled substances as defined in New Mexico statute by any member of the campus community.
