Violence in the Workplace
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
UW-Madison is concerned about the potential for acts or threats of violence that affect the workplace and has therefore adopted the following guidelines and procedures.

SCOPE
UW-Madison views aggressive and/or violent behavior as disruptive and contrary to the development and maintenance of a safe, productive and supportive work environment. Such behavior is actively discouraged. Employees who exhibit such behavior will be held accountable under university policy and rules, as well as local, state and federal law.

GUIDELINES
All threats and acts of aggressive or violent behavior should be taken seriously and addressed immediately. Such threats or acts include, but are not limited to:

harming or threatening to harm any member or guest of the university;
damaging or threatening to damage university property or the property of any member or guest of the university;
possessing a dangerous weapon or incendiary device on university property without prior authorization;
engaging in stalking behavior of any member or guest of the university (stalking is defined in Wisconsin statutory law).

PROCEDURES
Acts of violence or threats of imminent violence require an immediate response — dial 911. In the event of other threats, supervisors should be informed so they may investigate the situation and when necessary dial 911 or contact the Employee Assistance Office, 263-2987 or TDD/TTY 265-8460.

RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of deans, department chairs and directors to follow this procedure and inform their managers, supervisors and employees of the established procedures. It will be the responsibility of the University Police to develop procedures for 911 operations. Questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the University Police or the Employee Assistance Office.

UW-Madison Compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act
Standards of Conduct: In a good faith effort to comply with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989, the UW System and UW–Madison prohibit the unlawful possession, use, distribution, manufacture or dispensing of illicit drugs (“controlled substances” as defined in Ch. 161, Wis. Stat.), in accordance with s. UWS 1810, Wis. Adm. Code, by employees on university property or as part of university activities. The use or possession of alcoholic beverages is also prohibited on university premises, except in faculty and staff housing, and as expressly permitted by the chief administrative officer or under institutional regulations, in accordance s. UWS 18.06 (13)(b), Wis. Adm. Code. Without exception, alcohol consumption is governed by Wisconsin statutory age restrictions under s. UWS 18.06 (13)(b), Wis. Adm. Code.

Legal sanctions: The laws of Wisconsin prohibit drug possession and delivery through the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, Wis. Stat. 161, and mandate stiff penalties that include up to 15 years of prison and fines up to $500,000. A person with a first-time conviction of possession of a controlled substance can be sentenced up to one year of prison and fined up to $5,000, Wis. Stat. 161.41 (2r)(b). The penalties vary according to the amount of drug confiscated, the type of drug found, the number of previous offenses by the individual and whether the individual intended to manufacture the drug, sell the drug or use the drug. (See Wis. Stat. 161.41.) In addition to the stringent penalties for possession or delivery, the sentences can be doubled when exacerbating factors are present, such as when a person distributes a controlled substance to a minor, Wis. Stat. 161.46(1).

Substantial restrictions against alcohol abuse also exist in Wisconsin. It is against the law to sell alcohol to anyone who has not reached the legal drinking age of 21, and there is a concurrent duty on the part of an adult to prevent the illegal consumption of alcohol on his/her premises, Wis. Stat.125.07(1)(a)(1). Violation of this statute can result in a $500 dollar fine. It is against the law for an underage person to attempt to buy an alcoholic beverage, falsely represent his/her age, or enter a licensed premises. Violators of this law can be fined $500, ordered to participate in a supervised work program, and have their driver’s license suspended, Wis. Stat. 125.07(4)(3). Harsher penalties exist for the retailers of alcoholic beverages who violate it, including up to 90 days in jail and revocation of their retail liquor permit.

The federal government has recently revised the penalties against drug possession and trafficking through its Federal Sentencing Guidelines. These guidelines reduce the discretion that federal judges may use in sentencing offenders of federal drug statutes. Under these guidelines, courts can sentence a person for up to six years for unlawful possession of a controlled substance, including the distribution of a small amount (less than 250 grams of marijuana). A sentence of life imprisonment can result from a conviction of possession of a controlled substance that results in death or bodily injury. Possession of more than 5 grams of cocaine can trigger an intent to distribute penalty of 10-16 years in prison, U.S.S.G, s. 2D2.1(b)(1).

Health risks: Drugs at work are a hidden habit, but they have visible effects on the user. Whether the drug of choice is alcohol, marijuana, a prescription drug or cocaine, the habit can lead to a change in work habits. Some people may believe that drugs are harmless or even helpful. The truth is that drugs can have very serious, long-term physical and emotional health effects. And if drugs are mixed, the impact is even more detrimental. The following is a partial list of drugs often found in the workplace and some of the consequences of their use. Only some of the known health risks are covered, and not all legal or illegal drugs are included.

Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance in the workplace. It can lead to poor judgment and coordination, drowsiness and mood swings, liver damage and heart disease. Marijuana is an addictive drug, although many still believe that it is harmless. It can cause short-term memory impairment, slowed reaction time, lung disease and infertility. While cocaine and crack can speed up performance, their effect is short-lived. More lasting risks are short attention span, irritability and depression, seizure and heart attack. Prescription drugs are often used to reduce stress. However, they are not safe either, unless they are taken as directed. If abused, they can lead to sluggishness or hyperactivity, impaired reflexes, addiction and brain damage. Other drugs, such as PCP, LSD, heroin, mescaline and morphine, have a wide variety of negative health effects – from hallucinations and mental confusion to convulsions and death.

Employee Assistance (EA): Employees who have problems with alcohol or controlled substances are encouraged to contact the Employee Assistance Office for referral to counseling or treatment programs. Contacts with EA are confidential within limits: Employee Assistance Office, 610 Langdon St., Suite 526 of Lowell Hall, (608) 263-2987, (608) 265-3398-fax, (608) 265-8460-TDD. The director is Stephen R. Pilster-Pearson.

Discipline: University employees will be subject to disciplinary sanctions, up to and including termination from employment, for violation of these provisions occurring on university property or the work site or during work time. In addition to discipline, or in lieu of it, employees may be referred to appropriate counseling or treatment programs. Disciplinary sanctions are initiated and imposed in accordance with applicable procedural requirements and work rules, as set forth in Wisconsin statutes, administrative rules, faculty and academic staff policies, and collective bargaining agreements. Referral for prosecution under criminal law is also possible. Further, violations of ss. UWS 1806 (13) and 18.10, Wis. Adm. Code may result in additional penalties as allowed under Ch. UWS 18, Wis. Adm. Code. Employees convicted of any criminal drug statute violation occurring in the workplace must notify their dean, director or department chair within five days of the conviction if they are employed by the university at the time of the conviction.

Summary: All employees, faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to help make the university a drug-free workplace. You can do this by learning about substance abuse (its dangers and warning signs), encouraging others to avoid substance abuse, and getting help if you need it — either for yourself or for someone you are concerned about.

Students Called to Active Duty
When reservists were called to active duty during the Kosovo war, policies that had been initiated during the Gulf war and Desert Storm were once again put into place. The following policies would again apply to reservists called to active duty:

Tuition and fees: Students should be given the opportunity to earn his/her grade or a full refund of tuition should be made.

Room and board: Students should be given a refund for the unused portion of room and board contracts.

Institutions should do everything they can to ensure students are treated fairly and do not suffer an academic setback because they have been called to active duty.

Peer Review of Teaching Workshop
A free peer review of teaching workshop for untenured faculty and their mentors is Oct. 11, 1-4 p.m., at the Pyle Center.

All divisions require peer review as part of showing evidence of good teaching at the UW. A group of faculty from across campus has worked for several years to create a resource for faculty and staff to learn more about the many ways to help colleagues improve their teaching, and how to gather information about teaching for tenure. This workshop will include a brief overview of the menu of options for peer review, with examples of some of the most popular techniques, followed by breakout sessions to help untenured faculty design individualized plans for peer review, in collaboration with their mentors. Trained reviewers will be on hand to work with faculty whose mentors are not available on that date.

The workshop includes a panel discussion with members of each of the four divisional committees describing the process of evaluating evidence gathered about teaching. Ways in which a department can foster conversations in teaching and formal/informal peer review also will be explored.

This is an opportunity to make a plan for yourself to enhance your teaching and show evidence of it. For information about this workshop, contact Chris Carlson-Dakes, cgcarlso@facstaff.wisc.edu.
