WORK ENVIRONMENT
ALCOHOL AND ILLEGAL DRUGS
Wesleyan University prohibits:
- Working while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs; and
- Unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illegal drugs on
university property or while participating in any
university-sponsored activity.
NOTE:
- Any administrative staff member is required to notify the
director of Human Resources within five days of any criminal drug
statute conviction for a violation in the work place.
Administrative staff members who violate or fail to comply with this
policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including the
termination of employment. In some instances, the University may
also require administrative staff members who violate the section of
this policy referring to alcohol or drug use to participate in
rehabilitation programs outside the University as a condition of
continuing employment.
For help with problems of drug and alcohol abuse, please contact
Human Resources for assistance with identifying professional services
and resources.

MOTOR VEHICLE/PARKING
REGULATIONS
The Office of Public Safety registers motor vehicles for parking
permits, enforces parking regulations, imposes fines for violations, and
assists anyone who experiences a parking problem. Highlights of
the regulations are listed below. More detailed information
regarding the regulations may be requested from Public Safety.
Highlights
- Any motor vehicle that is parked on campus must be registered with
the Public Safety Office. Upon registering the vehicle, a
parking decal will be provided and must be displayed on the
registered vehicle. Unregistered vehicles may be towed or
immobilized.
- If an administrative staff member sells, transfers, or otherwise
changes the state registration of any vehicle registered on campus,
the change must be reported to Public Safety.
- Between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, vehicles
may be parked ONLY in the lot(s) assigned. A violation may
result in the vehicle being immobilized.
- Parking is not permitted in a fire lane, near a yellow curb, in
any unpaved area, or in a manner obstructing normal traffic flow.
Violators are subject to ticketing, fines, and towing.
- Handicapped parking spaces are reserved for individuals with a
valid permit to park in designated spaces. Violators are
subject to ticketing, fines, and towing.
- Public Safety reserves the right to restrict parking during or
after normal working hours for special events or during emergencies.
SMOKING
Effective July 1, 1999, Wesleyan amended its “Smoking Policy” and
will no longer permit smoking in any faculty or administrative building
- including all offices, common areas, and classrooms.
The reasons for this change include:
- All Connecticut employers, including the University, are required
to provide smoke-free working space for employees who request such
space.
- Requiring faculty or staff to request a smoke-free work space is
an undue burden on those who are irritated by and/or allergic to
passive, second-hand smoke.
- Liability could be created for the University if the institution
fails to ensure a smoke-free work environment for all employees.
To colleagues who do smoke, the University again acknowledges that
smoking is a legal activity, though not a right in the work place.
Wesleyan welcomes the opportunity to help you give up smoking, if that
is an option you would like to consider. Please contact Human
Resources if you would like assistance in identifying different methods
to help you stop smoking.
WEAPONS
No handguns or other firearms (even if all permits, licenses and
registrations required are up to date and available), explosives, or
weapons of any kind are allowed on campus.
