Can 51ºÚÁÏÍø University prohibit me from engaging in conduct that is permissible under state law?

Yes. Like alcohol, tobacco and other controlled substances that may be permissible under state law but are restricted by 51ºÚÁÏÍø University policies, KSU will not permit the use of marijuana on university property. As a higher education institution, property owner, and recipient of federal funds, KSU has not only the authority, but the legal obligation to prohibit marijuana on campus and at university events. Students, faculty and staff who violate policies are subject to disciplinary proceedings.

Do 51ºÚÁÏÍø University policies prohibiting marijuana use apply to faculty, staff, students, and visitors to campus?

Yes. 51ºÚÁÏÍø University policies and federal law prohibit anyone from using, possessing or distributing marijuana on KSU property or at any KSU events, including off-campus travel and events. As a recipient of federal funding, KSU is required to take measures to prevent the illicit use of drugs and abuse of alcohol on campus. Faculty, staff, students and visitors must abide by KSU’s Drug-Free Workplace policy.
