Drug-Free Schools & Campuses Annual Notification 2024-2025

Milwaukee Area Technical College (“College”) adopts the following Drug-
Free Workplace Policy and Program pursuant to the federal “Drug-Free Workplace Act
of 1988” and provides this notification to students and employees in compliance
with annual notification requirements.   

Standards of Conduct

MATC Policy 0300 – Drug Free Campuses and Workplace prohibits the unlawful
manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance
including but not limited to alcohol, prescription and illicit drugs at any college campus,
evening center, or other college premise; or while participating in officially sponsored
college events off premise.

Violations of this policy will result in appropriate progressive disciplinary action up to and
including: (a) expulsion of students in accordance with applicable civil, state, and federal
law and the MATC Student Code of Conduct; (b) termination of employment from MATC
in accordance with applicable civil, state, and federal law; and (c) referral for
prosecution for violations.

Each College employee will, as a condition of employment, abide by this policy. In
addition, any employee engaged in the performance of a federal grant or contract is
required to notify his or her supervisor no later than five (5) days after any conviction
under a criminal drug statute for a violation that occurred in the workplace.

Legal Standards

State Law: The Uniform Controlled Substances Act, Chapter 961 of the Wisconsin
Statutes, regulates controlled substances and outlines specific penalties for the violation
of the regulations. A person convicted of manufacturing a controlled substance,
delivering a controlled substance, or possessing a controlled substance with an intent to
manufacture or deliver, can be imprisoned for up to 30 years and fined up to
$1,000,000. Penalties vary according to the type of drug involved, the amount
of drug confiscated, the number of previous convictions, and the presence of any
aggravating factors. See Wis. Stat.s §961.41-50.

Wisconsin law also restricts the use of alcohol in certain situations such as
procurement, dispensing, or selling alcohol under the age of 21.  See Wis. Stat.s
§125.07.  Penalties may include significant fines, required participation in a supervised
work program, and suspension of driver’s license.

Federal Law:  Pursuant to federal law, the United States Sentencing Guidelines
establish mandatory minimum penalties for categories of drug offenses and provide for
penalty enhancements in specific cases. See 21 U.S.C. §841-865. 

Health Risks

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), addiction is when people who
use drugs can't stop taking a drug even if they want to.  People start taking drugs and
alcohol for a number of reasons including: socialization, boredom, coping with a loss,

and loneliness. No one plans to get addicted. Use of drugs or alcohol can quickly
become abuse as the person becomes dependent on the drug just to feel normal. That
is addiction, and it can quickly take over a person's life.

Addiction is a disease, just as diabetes and cancer are diseases. Addiction is not simply
a weakness or personality flaw. People can enter recovery and go on to maintain
normal life activities. People from all backgrounds, rich or poor, can become addicted.
Addiction can happen at any age, usually in adolescence or early adulthood but older
adults and those experiencing trauma or changes in their lifestyle are also vulnerable.
If you believe you are at risk of addiction, or are addicted to drugs or alcohol, the
College offers the resources outlined below. Please contact us. 

Symptoms

It is important to recognize the symptoms of drug and/or alcohol abuse.  People with
addiction might act differently than they used to. They might:

• spend a lot of time alone
• lose interest in their favorite things
• get messy—for instance, not bathe, change clothes, or brush their teeth
• be really tired and sad
• be very energetic, talk fast, or say things that don't make sense
• be nervous or cranky (in a bad mood)
• quickly change between feeling bad and feeling good
• miss class, work, or meetings/appointments
• fall asleep during class or work
• eat a lot more or a lot less than usual

People with an addiction usually can't stop using on their own. They want and need more. They might try to stop taking the drug and then feel really sick, so they continue or resume using. They may even keep using drugs or alcohol even though it's causing terrible family, health, or legal problems. They need help to stop using drugs or alcohol. Drug treatment can help.

Resources

MATC encourages employees and students with substance abuse problems or
concerns to seek confidential counseling and/or referral services. 

Conscientious efforts to seek such help shall not in themselves jeopardize any
employee’s job or student’s enrollment and will not be noted in the employee or student
file.  The following is a list of drug and alcohol abuse resources.
