Alcohol Policy
Case abides by prevailing local and state statutes controlling the sale and use
of alcoholic beverages. Servers of alcohol and sponsors of social events must be
aware of and comply with all Case policies and procedures. The following guidelines
apply to any event at the University Farm when alcohol is served. A procedure must
be established and adhered to for certifying those legally of age to drink.
- Non-alcoholic beverages must be provided by the sponsor of the event in
adequate proportion to the alcoholic beverages on hand and should be
sufficient to serve the number of people attending the event who are not of
legal drinking age or who choose not to drink alcohol.
- Food must also be provided by the sponsor of the event in adequate amounts
to last through the event.
- Alcohol may not be sold unless a temporary F or F-2 permit is obtained.
- Social events which encourage drinking or drunkenness as themes and the
advertisement of such events shall not be permitted.
- Events will be restricted to the picnic areas, the Pink Pig, the Sheep Barn and
the Manor House, and no alcohol may be taken outside of the reserved area.
Alcohol consumption in the picnic areas is restricted to beer and wine.
- Kegs, beer balls, etc., are not permitted.
At any time students are present or when anyone present is under 21 years of
age, the sponsors must request an Alcohol Use Permit in the Office of Student
Affairs at least three days prior to the events. A copy of this form must be in the
Farm Manager's office to reserve any University Farm facility for such events, and
must be posted during the event. A security officer or university representative
must be present if the number of students attending the event exceeds 100.
Individuals or groups listed on police or university incident reports involving
abuse of alcohol or violation of university rules because of alcohol or who otherwise
violate university policies on alcohol or state laws will be subject to disciplinary
action and the possible suspension of University Farm privileges.
Case's guidelines and procedures are intended neither to encourage nor
discourage alcohol use by those who are legally of age to drink. Rather, they are
intended to encourage moderation, safety and responsible behavior among those
who are legally of age to drink, and who choose to drink, and an environment free
of coercion for those who choose not to drink. Driving while under the influence of
alcohol is always dangerous, and is of particular concern given the location of the
University Farm. All persons participating in events at the Farm are encouraged to
refrain from driving if they have consumed alcohol, and to encourage their friends
to do likewise.
