Policy
The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (41 U.S.C. § 702) requires organizations and persons contracting with the federal government and those receiving federal financial assistance to certify they will provide a drug-free workplace. Although the act requires organizations and persons to provide a drug-free workplace which encompasses the activity concerned with the federal contract or grant, Clover Park Technical College has determined the entire campus should be drug free.
Any person violating the Drug-Free Workplace policy will be subject to the institutional policy and/or collective bargaining agreement applicable to that individual.
