    The institution will notify the student or employee in writing if the institution becomes aware of any violation of this policy. The student and or employee may request a formal hearing after receiving said notice.  Three members from the faculty and staff will comprise the hearing board.  If the student or employee fails to request a hearing within three business days, then immediate termination will take place.

    The institution's administration will then be notified of the board's decision.  In all cases the board's  decision will be final.  The institution's administration will then notify the student/employee of the board's decision.

    If the student/employee is found to have violated the institution's Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Policy then immediate termination from school or employment will take place.
