Staff and students who are under the influence of a drug or alcohol on the job also compromise the GMC's interests and endanger their own health and safety and the health and safety of others. Substance abuse in the workplace can also cause a number of other work -related problems, including absenteeism and tardiness, substandard job performance, increased workloads for co-workers, behavior that disrupts other employees, and inferior quality in products or service. To further its interest in avoiding accidents, to promote and maintain safe and efficient working conditions for its staff, and to protect its business, property, equipment, and operations, GMC has established this Guideline concerning the use of alcohol and drugs. As a condition of continued work and learning with the GMC, each staff and student must abide by this Guideline. A first violation of this Guideline will result in immediate discharge whenever the prohibited conduct: (1) Caused injury to any person, or, in the sole opinion of management, endangered the safety of any other person; (2) Resulted in significant damage to GMC property or equipment, or, in the sole opinion of management, posed a risk of significant damage; (3) Involved the sale or manufacture of illegal drugs or other controlled substances; (4) Involved the possession, distribution, or dispensation of illegal drugs or other controlled substances or alcohol In a quantity greater than for personal use, FERPA GMC complies with the confidentiality and student record availability provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 and the Buckley Amendment.
