4 I. Introduction The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) and Part 86 of the Department of Education s General Administrative Regulations (Edgar Part 86) requires UW Madison to certify that it has developed and implemented a drug and alcohol abuse education and prevention program (DAAPP) that is designed to prevent the unlawful possession, use, and distribution of drugs and alcohol on campus and at campus events. UW Madison is required to distribute written information about its DAAPP as well as conduct a biennial review to measure its effectiveness and ensure a consistent enforcement of its disciplinary sanctions. Alcohol and other drug abuse has serious effects on campus safety, community well being, and on the academic performance of our students. Conducting a biennial review provides an opportunity for UW Madison to not just document its prevention efforts, but also to closely examine their scope and effectiveness. Through this process, UW Madison can continually identify gaps in evidence based practices and develop recommendations for future improvements. This is the spirit in which UW Madison undertakes its 2012 and 2013 biennial review. II. Biennial Review Process This biennial review covers the period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, The review is conducted by the Chancellor s Advisory Group on Alcohol and Other Drugs (Appendix A) and the staff members of the units represented. Members participating in the review include: Director of University Housing, Jeff Novak Director of the Wisconsin Union, Mark Guthier Director of University Health Services, Sarah Van Orman Assistant Vice Chancellor and Chief of University Police, Sue Riseling Vice Provost for Student Life and Dean of Students, Lori Berquam Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning, Steve Cramer Director of Community Relations, Chancellor s Office, Everett Mitchell Associate Athletic Director for Student Services, Doug Tiedt Associate Vice Chancellor, Office of Legal Affairs, Nancy Lynch Director, Employee Assistance Office, Sherry Ray Boeger Undergraduate Representative, Associated Students of Madison Graduate Representative, Associated Students of Madison Participating units assembled relevant data and information. University Health Services compiled information into a draft report which was circulated to the CAGAOD for a two week review and comment period. The final report was reviewed and adopted by the CAGAOD on April 15, Biennial reports for UW Madison are available on the central campus drug and alcohol information website, Alcohol Information for Students. This website is accessible to the general public and reports are maintained on this site for at least the minimum required 3 year period. A printed copy of the reports may be requested through University Health Services, AlcoholEdu@uhs.wisc.edu. 3 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

5 III. Annual Policy Notification Process The UW Madison Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Policy content includes: standards of conduct, legal sanctions, health risks and treatment resources. The actual UW Madison Policy is included as Appendix B (employees) and Appendix C (students). During the period of this biennial review, the University has issued the annual disclosure to all employees and students through a variety of methods: 1) to employees via a University print publication known as Wisconsin Weekly that was replaced with a weekly electronic publication now known as Inside UW and 2) to all students and employees in a specific section of the Annual Security Report (ASR) distributed annually via ; and 3) to students via an electronic newsletter known as The Weekly. Care is taken in the distribution to ensure that access to this information is afforded to all employees and students. Students entering UW Madison during the winter semester receive notification through The Weekly newsletter. Below are the links to the documentation demonstrating compliance with the annual notification requirement for 2012 and Inside UW the record/uw madison compliancewith the drug free school and community act/ 2013 release Inside UW the record/uw madison compliancewith the drug free schools and communities act/ ASR, page _final.pdf ASR, page _proof3.pdf ASR, page 30 Policy can also be found on the Office of Human Resources Employee Assistance Office website drug free.htm and the Alcohol Information for Students website 4 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

6 IV. Prevalence Rate, Incidence Rate, Needs Assessment and Trend Data a. AOD related Incidents. There are a large number of AODA related incidents occurring in and around the UW Madison campus. Data on the number of incidents is available from the UW Madison Police Department (UWPD) and the Division of Student Life, Dean of Student Office. A summary of such incidents is details below: *Includes off campus incidents **Includes non students Alcohol related incidents reported to campus police* Drug related incidents reported to campus police* On campus alcohol related incidents reported to the Division of Student Life ** On campus drug related incidents reported to the Division of Student Life ** Alcohol related student conduct violations managed by the Division of Student Life and University Housing Drug related student conduct violations managed by the Division of Student Life and University Housing Alcohol or drug related fatalities 0 0 Alcohol related admissions to detoxification center Alcohol and drug related ambulance transports 0 4 b. Assessment Data: Extensive assessment Data for the UW Madison population is available for the UW Madison student undergraduate student population. Data sources include the National College Health Assessment (NCHA), administered ever 5 years, the UW System AODA survey administered every two years through 2011, and the PACE project Alcohol Behaviors survey administered annually through Data is also available on entering students completing Alcohol Edu beginning in the fall UW Madison students are noted to have higher rates of alcohol use upon college entry and have larger increases in rates of total use and of high risk use than their national and state wide peers. Prevalence of illegal drug use is similar on the UW Madison campus as on other campuses. This data highlights the fall 2013 Alcohol Edu program for all incoming students and was administered pre matriculation and at approximately 6 weeks. Compared to students at peer institutions, UW Madison students are more likely to: have consumed alcohol before coming to campus; consume alcohol; become high risk drinkers by mid first semester (50% vs. 35% increase over entry); become problematic drinkers by mid first semester (109% vs. 53% increase over entry); not remain non drinkers (25% vs. 15% decrease); consume alcohol in university housing (31% vs. 14%); and/or consume alcohol on Thursday nights. Additional data is available as Appendix D. 5 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

It should be noted, however, that Wisconsin has significant challenges with high risk alcohol use among its adult population. A summary of pertinent data includes: Wisconsin has 1.3 times the national rate of arrests for OWI and more than three times the national rate of arrests for liquor law violations. Wisconsin has the highest rate of adult binge drinking in the nation (23%) Wisconsin continues to have the nation s highest rate of reported drinking and driving. Per capita alcohol consumption in Wisconsin is 1.3 times higher than the national rate (660 drinks per capita annually). Wisconsin rates of drug related deaths and drug law arrests continue to be lower than national rates. However, the rate of drug related deaths in Wisconsin increased steadily from 2008 to The 2012 rate of drug related deaths was nearly twice what it was at the beginning of the decade reflecting the growing problem of opioid addiction and abuse within Wisconsin.

8 V. Policy, Enforcement & Compliance a. Policy Inventory Alcohol and other drugs on University lands are regulated by Wisconsin Administrative Code UWS (Appendix E) Alcohol beverages are prohibited except as permitted by specific institutional regulations promulgated by the Chancellor. Possession of illegal drugs or drug paraphilia is prohibited. Subsequent to the framework provided by Ch. 18, UW Madison has a number of related policies as outlined below (Appendices B,C, G T): Policy Administered Monitored Enforced Appendix Federal Drug Free Campus Policy Chapter 17 Student Nonacademic Disciplinary Procedures UW Madison Specific Alcohol Beverage Regulations UW Madison Registered Student Organization Alcohol Policy UW Madison Facilities Use Guidelines Alcohol Beverage Service, Wisconsin Union Wisconsin Union Policy DS1 5: Alcohol Beverage Service Wisconsin Union Policy DS1 5a: Alcohol Beverage Service Age Verification UW Madison Facilities Use Guidelines Alcohol Beverage Service, University Housing Division of University Housing Student/Community Expectations Responsible Action Guidelines Suspension of Eligibility for Drug Related Offenses CAGAOD CAGAOD CAGAOD B&C UW System Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Center for Leadership and Involvement Committee on Student Organizations Director, Wisconsin Union Director, Wisconsin Union Director, Wisconsin Union Director, University Housing Director, University Housing Division of Student Life Office of Student Financial Aid Dean of Students Office Division of University Housing CAGAOD Center for Leadership and Involvement Committee on Student Organizations Director, Wisconsin Union Director, Wisconsin Union Director, Wisconsin Union Director, University Housing Director, University Housing Division of Student Life Office of Student Financial Aid Dean of Students Office Division of University Housing Dean of Students Office Office of Human Resources Center for Leadership and Involvement Committee on Student Organizations Director, Wisconsin Union Director, Wisconsin Union Director, Wisconsin Union Director, University Housing Director, University Housing Division of Student Life Office of Student Financial Aid F G H I J K L M N O 7 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

10 b. Enforcement Methods Law Enforcement The University of Wisconsin Madison sits on 936 acres in downtown Madison Wisconsin. The UWPD has jurisdiction over campus properties along with select UW Madison affiliated medical facilities. The 120 plus member department is comprised of sworn police, security staff, emergency management, infrastructure security and a full 911 center staffed by law enforcement dispatchers. Sworn staff are deputized by the Dane County Sheriff and are authorized to enforce all State of Wisconsin laws and Rules of the Board of Regents. The Madison Police Department (MPD) has primary jurisdiction in all areas off campus in Madison. Other county, state and federal agencies also provide law enforcement services in the Madison area. MPD routinely works with UWPD, campus conduct officers, and the UW Madison Center for Leadership and Involvement (CfLI) on any serious incidents occurring off campus when a UW Madison student is involved. MPD has a designated officer liaison to the Langdon neighborhood, which is the off campus area that is home to many officially registered student organizations including fraternities and sororities. Under the advisement of the Greek Life Coordinator, student members of the fraternity and sorority governing boards (Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association) are in regular communication with the Langdon neighborhood police officer regarding safety concerns and local ordinances. However, UW Madison does not ask MPD to monitor criminal activity at off campus locations of registered student organizations, rather MPD does so because those residences are within their jurisdiction. Dean of Students Office: The Dean of Students Office (DoSO) oversees the enforcement of the student conduct code (UWS Chapters 17 and 18) for incidents both on campus and off campus. Staff from the DoSO conduct investigations, determine violations and sanctions and oversee the hearing process. DoSO receives reports from University faculty and staff, UWPD, Madison Police and other sources. Sanctions range from University Reprimand, University Probation, Suspension from the University and Expulsion from the University. Students suspended or expelled from the university are subsequently suspended or expelled from all University of Wisconsin System institutions. Additionally, educational and assessment activities are typical responses to alcohol violations. DoSO staff work closely with University Housing staff who oversee enforcement of the conduct code for University Housing residents with incidents occurring on campus. Center for Leadership and Involvement: The Center for Leadership and Involvement (CfLI) is responsible for setting policies for Registered Student Organizations (RSO s) and the subsequent efforts to hold RSO s accountable. CfLI staff work with student leaders to communicate expectations, train organizations and advise the Committee on Student Organizations (CSO). The CSO is the university body charged with investigating misconduct by student organizations and issues sanctions for violations. Sanctions can range from educational 9 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

11 programs, risk management plan development, probationary status, suspension and termination. University Housing University Housing staff, often House Fellows, are expected to document any violations of University and Housing policies that they observe. Staff may ask residents to dispose of illegal or prohibited substances such as alcohol or marijuana and intervene when a common source of alcohol is suspected to be in a resident s room or residents are in possession of, using, or intending to deliver narcotics or other illegal drug, including marijuana. When confronted by a staff member for a possible policy violation, residents are expected to present a valid UW Madison Wiscard for identification purposes, comply with reasonable requests of staff such as opening room door, presenting identification, turning down music, and helping to ensure the cooperation of guests, dispose of illegal or prohibited substances such as alcohol or marijuana as instructed by staff, and be honest with and respectful of the staff members responding. Failure to do so results in the involvement of UWPD. The Residence Life Coordinator/Area Coordinator of each hall will review documentation of policy violations, the impact of the behavior on the house/hall community, and each resident s degree of responsibility. The staff will conduct an investigation and may utilize a variety of methods including social networking, public information, police reports, witness statements and camera footage, and will determine how to respond. The responses may include a conversation with a member of the Residence Life Staff to review the violation and related policies and/or a disciplinary hearing/meeting with professional Residence Life staff to determine which, if any, sanctions are warranted. Residence Life Coordinators/Area Coordinators are responsible for investigating violations of both Housing and University policies. They act as agents of the Dean of Students Office in the disciplinary process for University policy violations unless the possible University sanction for the alleged misconduct is suspension or expulsion from the University. Residence Life staff members make decisions about any sanctions that result from Housing Contract violations and make recommendations about initiating University disciplinary action for the Dean of Students Office regarding violations of University policies. Campus Events During the period of this biennial review, while a permit was required, UW Madison had no mechanism for tracking campus events serving alcohol. Management of these paper records was localized at the level of the campus unit. During the period of this biennium, this was identified as a gap and a new campus policy was adopted which included creation of an electronic database for issuing permits. Information on the number of campus events, will be available during the 2014 and 2015 biennium. 10 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

14 VI. Program and Interventions a. Individual Programs BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students) Administered by Dean of Students Office, individual BASICS is a one on one twosession program with a substance abuse counselor from an off campus substance abuse agency. Students involved in an alcohol related violation of UW policy must attend as condition of formal misconduct sanction. A hold placed on student transcript/registration until BASICS is completed. Tier of Effectiveness: 1 Number of students served: 58 (2012); 89 (2013) Satisfaction: Students describe program as good or excellent overall. When describing what was liked most, overwhelming responses related to learning, the personal exploration of alcohol use, and the non judgmental approach. When students had criticisms, it related to the program cost and the offcampus location. Learning outcomes met: Post assessment responses indicated greater agreement with lower risk attitudes regarding alcohol use and greater dissonance or motivation for change regarding alcohol use. Most measurements are not statistically significant due to low sample size, however, students did report actual changes to their drinking habits, which was statistically significant. Finally, student learning about alcohol and high risk drinking increases, with statistical significance p<.05, as average knowledge totals increase 15%. Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral, and Treatment (SBIRT) University Health Services (UHS) has conducted high risk alcohol use screening for all patients every 6 months since 2007 based on an SBIRT model. Patients who screen positive on a single alcohol use question complete an alcohol AUDIT which is reviewed by provider staff trained in motivational interviewing. Tier of Effectiveness: 1 Reviews of this program indicate that approximately 10% of UHS patient screen positive and approximately 3 % are very high risk indicating problematic alcohol related consequences. An ongoing challenge is the willingness of students indicating high risk alcohol consumption to accept referral and intervention. (see Appendix U) Number of students screened: 2012 Initial 15,949; AUDIT Initial 14,006; AUDIT Electronic Check Up to Go (E CHUG) Administered by UHS and Dean of Students Office, E CHUG is a personalized, evidence based, online prevention intervention program designed to reduce high risk drinking among college students, including a written reflection, and in 2014 a follow up meeting. Tier of Effectiveness: 1 Electronic THC Online Knowledge Experience (E TOKE) Administered by UHS and Dean of Student s Office, E TOKE is a personalized, evidence based, online prevention & intervention program designed to reduce marijuana use among 13 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

15 college students, including a written reflection, and in 2014 a follow up meeting. It is designed to help motivate students to reduce their level of marijuana use using personalized information about their own behavior and risk factors. Tier of Effectiveness: 1 Individual Assessment through UHS UHS Mental Health Services offers Alcohol and Other Drug Assessments. During an assessment a student meets one on one with an alcohol and drug specialist, who will evaluate the nature of any problem a student is having with alcohol or drugs. The assessment gets the student involved through discussion of biological, psychological, and social factors affecting alcohol and other drug use and abuse. The counselor can then make recommendations for further treatment, if necessary and appropriate. UHS does not offer long term or specialized drug and alcohol treatment but can assist students with referral. UHS also provides limited short term treatment both individual and groups for substance abuse disorders. Tier of Effectiveness: 1 Number of students served: During the biennium, UHS performed 72 dedicated AODA assessments. There were 315 unique clients who made 1167 visits during this period with a primary diagnosis of a substance abuse. Substance abuse treatment groups were also offered during this period; 10 ACOA group sessions fall 2013, ACOA group sessions spring 2013 ACOA group sessions fall Referral Programs to Off Campus Treatment Providers for Students UHS maintains referral sources and case management specialists who assist students requiring treatment referral. Specialized AODA treatment services are available locally. Individual Assessment for Employees The Employee Assistance Office (EAO) has counselors (licensed clinical social workers) who meet 1:1 with employees for counseling using an assess and refer model. Employees initiate contact on their own or as a result of a referral by their supervisor or human resource manager. Employees can identify drug and alcohol abuse as a presenting concern or the counselor can determine through the assessment process that a substance abuse issue exists. The counselor can make recommendations for referral to a treatment provider or other community resources. Tier of Effectiveness: 1 Number of employees served: Referral Programs to Off Campus Treatment Providers for Employees EAO will make referrals to treatment centers based on employee s health insurance and/or refer to self pay options. When an employee is formally referred to EAO by their supervisor or human resource contact, the EAO counselor will provide case management on attendance and compliance. The EAO does not track referrals. 14 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

16 b. Group based Programs Choices about Alcohol Administered by Dean of Student Office, Choices is a twosession group learning experience about alcohol and possible options that a student could make when facing decisions involving alcohol. The program is required for students with disciplinary sanctions. The program is facilitated in partnership with off campus substance abuse counseling agencies, and the sessions are on campus. Tier of Effectiveness: 1 Number of students served: 410 (2012); 504 (2013) Satisfaction: 93% rated the program Excellent (37.6%) or Good (56.11%). Students liked learning about BAC, finding it helpful to know more about how it works. Also enjoyed the openness of the group discussion, and the nonjudgmental counselors who facilitate. Students did not enjoy paying for it, the time commitment, or being required to participate in the first place. Learning outcomes met student attitudes on nearly every item measured (11 items where p<.001; 6 items where p<.05). Responses indicate greater dissonance or readiness to change at post assessment, consistent with intended outcomes of a group motivational enhancement. Student knowledge about alcohol and high risk drinking increased 35% from pre test total score with significance at p<.001. Badgers Step Up! Administered by University Health Services and the Division of Student Life, Badgers Step Up! is a synthesis of two program methodologies: BASICS alcohol abuse prevention and Step Up! Bystander intervention training. Badgers Step Up! Combines the popular aspects of these two programs with learning content specific to UW Madison, including the Wisconsin Experience and the UW Madison leadership framework competencies. It was piloted during the fall of Number of times offered: 5 Number of students served: 107 Demographics of students served: Student athletes, leaders of registered student organizations, and members of Greek fraternities and sororities. Tier of Effectiveness: 2 Intended Learning Outcomes o Students will be able to relate the Social Change Model of student leadership to harm reduction and intervention strategies. o Students will be able to identify the impact of alcohol on their organization and on students. o Students will support the reduction of high risk alcohol use o Students will develop effective methods to prevent high risk behavior related to alcohol use. o Students will feel greater confidence in acting to reduce high risk alcohol use. 15 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

17 Red Watch Band Administered by Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), Student Emergency Medical Services (SEMS), UW Police Department, and University Health Services (UHS). The Red Watch Band Project is a student led initiative. It is a two component program including a CPR portion and an alcohol awareness portion. It is done with the partnership between the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), Student Emergency Medical Services (SEMS), UW Police Department(UWPD), and University Health Services (UHS). Participants are taught the CPR Heartsaver course which is two hours. Participants receive an interactive alcohol awareness presentation that teaches them what the size of a standard drink is and will measure how many drinks they are actually having when they pour a cup of alcohol (beer, wine, and hard liquor). Participants are taught the warning signs of alcohol poisoning and how to assess, analyze, and act in this type of situation when they suspect that someone may have alcohol poisoning. Effectiveness Tier: 2 Number of students served: ; SOAR During the summer prior to matriculation, incoming students participate in Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR). The program includes an orientation to campus resources and a discussion about campus life including alcohol and other drugs with current students. Led by current students, a twohour discussion on campus life includes a discussion of alcohol expectations. Student leaders are provided with scripted information to ensure consistent messaging. Programming for parents/family is also provided including a session on health and safety led by staff members from UHS and UWPD reviewing expectations, resources, and consequences of alcohol and other drug use on campus and enlisting families as partners in prevention efforts. Cop and a Keg Administered by UWPD, this program allows UWPD officers to provide alcohol prevention messaging in non lecturing environment while learning about trends and drinking culture among UW students in order to tailor alcohol education and enforcement approaches and includes interactive demonstrations (e.g. Drunk goggles, obstacle courses) while sharing a keg of root beer. Tier of Effectiveness: 3 Number of students served: ; Life Skills Academy Administered by Athletics, all first year athletes are required to go through this course their first semester, Life Skills Academy. This is a 1 credit transitional course with each week dedicated to a different topic. One of those weeks was dedicated toward Alcohol Safety in addition to other topics such as sexual assault, time management, media training, etc. Tier of Effectiveness: 4 Number of students served: 200 Learning Outcomes: Student athletes are tested on their knowledge gained in a final exam at the end of the semester. 16 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

18 Nutrition Classes for Athletes Administered by Athletics, the nutrition component over 4 years for student athletes has included units associated with alcohol and athletic performance and the effects of alcohol on the body. Tier of Effectiveness: 4 Number of students served: 200 c. Universal or Entire Population Based Programs AlcoholEdu is a comprehensive online education program designed to provide students with the information they need to make well informed decisions about alcohol, link their choices about drinking to academic and personal success, and help them better cope with the drinking behavior of peers, as well as respond effectively in situations where others are at risk of alcohol related harm. Tier of Effectiveness: 1 Number of students served: Logged into AlcoholEdu: 8643 Completed AlcoholEdu: 8416 Number of times offered: 1 August 12 23, 2013 is when students were expected to complete the program Demographics of students served: All incoming first year students (freshmen and transfer) and all students returning to University Housing o 48% Male; 52% Female o 80.11% White (non Hispanic); 13.25% Asian /Pacific Islander; 3.66% Hispanic/Latino/a; 2.59% African American/Black; 40% Native American/American Indian o 75% freshmen; 16% sophomores; 7% juniors; 2% seniors o 12.89% were transfer students Learning Outcomes: Pre and post test surveys of participants indicated statistically significant impacts in multiple items including reductions in intended drinking behaviors, alcohol knowledge questions, and bystander intervention. (see Appendix V) Social Marketing Campaigns All campus student life units regularly engage in social marketing activities to promote healthy norms and to set campus expectations. Examples of this activity include fall messaging from the Division of Student Life and University Housing and campaigns such as the Spring Break campaign from UHS. SAFEwalk provides walking escorts throughout the entire campus except the far west side (UW Hospital and Eagle Heights). Students work in two person escort teams throughout campus to: respond to requests for walks, watch for suspicious situations around campus, and answer transportation/safety related questions. All SAFEwalkers undergo training with UWPD and are able to assist in a variety of situations. Each team carries a two way radio and is able to act as a mobile emergency phone between UWPD and SAFEwalk dispatchers. 17 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013

19 d. Environmental/Socio Ecological Based Programs Alcohol Free Social Options Housing Every social event and program within UW Residence Halls is alcohol free. Therefore, hundreds of events, funded by $100,000 s, occur for UW residence hall students every year. A very abbreviated list of examples of these events/programs include: Common Community Book Reads, Floor Meals and Outings, Trips to American Player s Theater, Chicago, Brewers, and various Madison area attractions, Guest Speakers from various professions/backgrounds, UW Game Day viewings in Lake Mendota Room, Resume writing workshops, Community Service Projects organized through the Morgridge Center. Wisconsin Union (WU) The Wisconsin Union provides alcohol free recreational, cultural, educational and social opportunities to the UW Madison campus through the student led Union Directorate and other programs. Wisconsin Union Directorate includes Alternative Breaks Committee, Art Committee, Distinguished Lecture Series Committee, Film Committee, Global Connections Committee, Hoofers outdoor recreation program(sailing Club, Outing Club, Mountaineering Club, Ski and Snowboard Club, Riding Club and SCUBA Club, Music Committee, Performing Arts Committee, Publications Committee, and Society and Politics Committee Program and Leadership Units/Programs include Mini Courses, Willis L. Jones Leadership Center, Wisconsin Union Craftshop, and the Revelry Music and Arts Festival. Utilization Number: During the academic year for which data is available there were 878 scheduled programs with total attendance of 467,473 individuals. (Appendix W) Substance Free Community within UW Residence Halls The Substance Free Community began in 2006 and was formed based on student generated interest, as reflected by the strong group of students choosing to live in substance free housing year after year. Sub Free has single sex floors, and students range in class year.

Program Outcome Highlights include expansion to include three new community agencies and work with Senior Leader Committee (SLC) to reform education sessions. Rather than solely focusing on community issues such as homelessness and the achievement gap, a number of education sessions now also discuss topics more readily applicable to college students. Such topics include how to mention volunteering on a resume so that it is effective, a community/team building workshop, and a panel on how to get more involved with both other campus organizations focused on service as well as non UW affiliated programs (Peace Corps, Teach for America, etc.).

UWPD worked with both student unions (Memorial Union and Union South) to engage in periodically checking patron IDs in areas alcohol is served. UWPD had officers assigned to each residence hall as liaisons. These officers held meetings in residence halls to focus on underage alcohol issues with students. UWPD also patrolled residence halls on a regular basis prepared to address alcohol related issues.

Implemented alcohol education program for all incoming students with emphasis on risk reduction, community expectations, and the Wisconsin Experience through AlcoholEdu On line program. Developed opportunities to train others that work with students to assist with alcohol screening and use of motivational interviewing techniques, including potentially advisors, faculty, UWPD, and other student life units. Institutional Strategies Adoption a Responsible Action Policy with supports community and bystander intervention during alcohol emergencies. Provides relief from some alcohol sanctions for students rendering aid during alcohol emergencies. Adoption of a clear statement of amnesty from alcohol citation for victims of crime, especially sexual misconduct. Launch of campus Alcohol website which supports clear communication and consistent enforcement of campus alcohol policy to UW Madison students.

23 VIII. AOD SWOT/C Analysis During the period of the biennium, the CAGAOD undertook multiple planning retreats to review, revise, and enhance institutional planning for ATOD policies and programs. Utilizing a SWOT (Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats) framework, this planning efforts results in significant changes. a. Policy Review Strengths Policies are designed to address a range of behaviors. There is a balanced approach to intervening off campus. Weaknesses The campus did not provide responsible server training for student or employees hosting events with alcohol. There were several weaknesses in institutional compliance with the DFSCA. Key weaknesses included 1) A lack of clear responsibility for completion of a formal biennial review. While the CAGAOD and many other campuses offices regularly engage in reviews of the effectiveness of its DAAPP and enforcement of sanctions prior to this biennium, such review was not consolidated in a single report and made publically available as required; and 2) a lack of clear responsibility for distribution of the annual student and employee notification and documentation of such notification. In addition, not all available channels were utilized to ensure distribution to all employees at the time of hire. Opportunities: An opportunity was identified to review and revise campus alcohol policies related to alcohol service and sales at university affiliated events to ensure they are consistent with state and federal law and local ordinances, represent best public health practice, and are fairly and consistently enforced. A revised campus alcohol policy was developed and implemented with the following changes: (see Appendix X) Clarify definition of a University event. Enhance statement of campus alcohol philosophy. Expand and enhance local control of alcohol beverage service. Strengthen Alcohol Beverage Service Permit process. Ensure enforcement of Minimum Legal Drinking Age at University events. Add process and responsibility for policy review, communication and enforcement. Threats: The current alcohol policy environment posed a significant institutional risk given the lack of clarity regarding oversight and campus enforcement of the minimum legal drinking age. 22 P age UW Madison Biennial Review 2012/2013
