Sec. 1011h. Binge drinking on college campuses


(a) Short title

    This section may be cited as the ``Collegiate Initiative To Reduce 
Binge Drinking and Illegal Alcohol Consumption''.

(b) Sense of Congress

    It is the sense of Congress that, in an effort to change the culture 
of alcohol consumption on college campuses, all institutions of higher 
education should carry out the following:
        (1) The president of the institution should appoint a task force 
    consisting of school administrators, faculty, students, Greek system 
    representatives, and others to conduct a full examination of student 
    and academic life at the institution. The task force should make 
    recommendations for a broad range of policy and program changes that 
    would serve to reduce alcohol and other drug-related problems. The 
    institution should provide resources to assist the task force in 
    promoting the campus policies and proposed environmental changes 
    that have been identified.
        (2) The institution should provide maximum opportunities for 
    students to live in an alcohol-free environment and to engage in 
    stimulating, alcohol-free recreational and leisure activities.
        (3) The institution should enforce a ``zero tolerance'' policy 
    on the illegal consumption of alcohol by students at the 
    institution.
        (4) The institution should vigorously enforce the institution's 
    code of disciplinary sanctions for those who violate campus alcohol 
    policies. Students with alcohol or other drug-related problems 
    should be referred for assistance, including on-campus counseling 
    programs if appropriate.
        (5) The institution should adopt a policy to discourage 
    alcoholic beverage-related sponsorship of on-campus activities. It 
    should adopt policies limiting the advertisement and promotion of 
    alcoholic beverages on campus.
        (6) The institution should work with the local community, 
    including local businesses, in a ``Town/Gown'' alliance to encourage 
    responsible policies toward alcohol consumption and to address 
    illegal alcohol use by students.
