Wesleyan changes campus alcohol policy
Martin Garcia
SUIT WRITER
Texas Wesleyan recently updated its campus alcohol policy, adding two
locations to the list of acceptable places to serve and consume alcohol, but
tightening requirements to do so
The Louella Baker Martin Pavilion and the Baker Martin House were
newly named as areas appropriate to serve alcohol. Other locations are the
president's suite, the trustee board room and the law school's conference
center, as well as other areas deemed appropriate by the president.
"The pavilion was built for a variety of different group and functions,
including third party events and functions, so it makes sense to allow alco-
hol in the building," said Steve Roberts, associate vice president of admin-
istrative services.
The east room of the campus library was previously included in the
handbook as an appropriate venue but was removed from the list after it
transformed into the Academic Resource Center.
The new policy also calls for more restriction. It mandates that an off-
duty Fort Worth police officer to be present for all student and third party
events where alcohol is served. The cost is assumed by sponsoring parties.
"Any time you serve alcohol you can have problems related to that, so
we felt it was in the best interest of everybody involved, particularly for
third party events," said Roberts.
University policy also states that a third party and licensed vendor or
bartender must distribute the beverages, state and local laws must be
adhered to, alcohol must not be the focus of the activity, and advertise-
ments of the event may not use alcohol to draw the attendees.
Off-campus events, including organization-sponsored gatherings, must
abide by even more procedures. A variety of non-alcoholic beverages must
be conveniently and readily available, sufficient food or hors' douvres must
be provided, carding must be enforced and alternate transportation arrange-
ments should be readily available upon request.
Alcohol is still not permitted in or on residence hall property; this
includes any container that had previously contained the substance
Failure to follow any of the alcohol restrictions could lead to conse-
quences that inhibit any club or association at Texas Wesleyan from having
the right to have alcoholic beverages on or off campus, according to the
handbook. Organizations could lose their rights, sponsors and president;
other leading members are also subject to hefty fines. The rules in their
entirety may be found in the Texas Wesleyan University Student Handbook.
If a society wishes to seek approval to hold a function that serves alco-
hol, they can request an alcohol permit form from Joslyn Neblett in the
office of the dean of students.
The request serves for both on and off-campus purposes and asks for
explicit details of the event. Event administers must be ready to furnish
details as to who the vendor will be, what will be served and how they will
ensure that minors will not be supplied with beverages beyond their limita-
tions.
Approval is lastly based on a sign off from Roberts, as well as the dean
of students.
