Pratt Munson is committed to ensuring the safety of its students, especially in situations involving alcohol or drug impairment. In all cases where a student’s safety is at risk, the appropriate agencies must be contacted for assistance. These agencies include Pratt Munson Campus Public Safety (315-724-2670), local emergency services (911), or a Residence Life staff member (such as an RA).
We believe it is everyone’s responsibility to seek help when someone is in need of medical assistance. All members of the Pratt Munson community should prioritize the safety and well-being of themselves and others without hesitation. If a student is experiencing a medical emergency, their peers should focus solely on getting them the help they need.
When a student reports an emergency, the student directly involved fall under two categories:
- Medical Amnesty: Protects the student experiencing the emergency from formal disciplinary action
- Good Samaritan: Protects the person(s) who call for help from formal disciplinary action
While this policy may prevent formal College disciplinary action, educational follow-ups may still result. This policy is intended for isolated incidents and does not cover repeated violations of Pratt Munson’s Alcohol, Cannabis (Marijuana), and other Drug Policy. The goal is to encourage responsible behavior and ensure that help is sought when necessary.
