A new Substance-Free Campus and Workplace (IV.A.9) policy is effective today (Sept. 15), which supersedes Executive Memorandum No. C-44 on the same subject. Updates include a list of permissible conduct, clarified prohibited conduct, a simplified section on workplace inspections, and revised definitions.

Also effective today, the policy on Electronic Devices and Services (VII.A.3) is withdrawn. Units may still provide technology allowances for employees in accordance with the guidance and rates posted on the Human Resources website. 

Visit the new and revised policies page on the University Policy Office website for links to the full text of these systemwide policies.

Note: Policies and standards do not apply to Purdue Global, as it maintains its own policies and standards.
