ADELPHI UNIVERSITY POLICY
Standards of Conduct Regarding Illicit Drugs and Alcohol
Adelphi University—in its mission to provide a quality education for students and to prepare them for a
productive and civilized life—realizes the importance of a drug-free campus and is therefore strongly
committed to the prevention of substance abuse.
To maintain an atmosphere conducive to this mission, the following policies, rules, and standards have
been implemented. They apply to all students, employees, and their organizations, and are in accordance
with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
A biennial review of this program will be conducted to determine its effectiveness and to suggest the
implementation of changes to the program, if deemed necessary. This review will also ensure that the
sanctions developed by the University are consistently enforced.

anywhere on Adelphi’s campuses or as part of any Adelphi University activity is prohibited.

Workplace Act) regarding convictions of employees. Student-related reports should be made to
the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. Convictions of anyone employed on a federal grant
program must be reported to the Provost’s Office so that a report can be made to the federal
government within ten days after conviction.

disciplinary action, which may range from referral for counseling, disciplinary probation, loss of
University housing, suspension or dismissal from the University or employment, based on the
merits of the case.

above (#1) must report said conviction within five days. Students report to the Office of the Dean
of Student Affairs; employees report to the Office of Human Resources.

The William Bradford Turner American Legion Post 265 respectfully requests permission to conduct its annual Memorial
Day Parade and Ceremony on Memorial Day, May 27th.
This year our focus will be on honoring our Veterans who served on active duty during the Viet Nam Conflict from 1962
through 1975. James Brady, a long time village resident and member of our Post who has been active in many village
organizations will be the Grand Marshall.
Our schedule will be as follows:
9:00 a.m. Memorial Service at the Cathedral of the Incarnation
10:00 a.m. Parade Assembly at Parking Lot on the east corner of 10 th Street and Franklin Avenue and march
down Franklin
Avenue and Seventh Street to Veterans Memorials
11:00 a.m. Memorial Ceremony at Veterans Memorials on Seventh Street
At the suggestion of the Garden City Police Department, the assembly for the parade this year will be in the parking lot
on the east side of Franklin Avenue and 10th Street instead of the west side of 10th Street where it interfered with
traffic in the residential area. We all feel that this is a safer situation.
All Members of our Post, other posts, and all Veterans of our Village are invited to participate.
The Mayor and Trustees of our Village are invited to participate in any and all of the above and I would like to have
Mayor
Mary Carter Flanagan be the first speaker after the invocation to welcome those attending if she is available.
Lease let me know if any further information is needed. As always, thank you for your continued support and all that you
do for our Village.
