Yes, exactly.  Including, if you are drunk and you see someone being
raped, and call the police, you will not get an alcohol violation.  The
DeAnza case sets a good picture.  If those two women (or 3) had been
really intoxicated and underage but called the police in that
circumstance, I strongly believe that there should be a policy exempting
them from any alcohol violation.  Some schools call this a good
samaritan policy.

I am specifically looking for these from any of our peer institutions:

UFL
Georgia Tech
Iowa State 
Michigan State
Ohio State
Penn State
Purdue
UC-Davis
UGA
Uill-Urbana Champaign
U Maryland
U Minnesota
Texas A&M
UWISC-Madison
VA Tech

Thank you!

What kind of amnesty? Underage alcohol consumption, drugs or something
else? 
Bucknell had a policy like that for alcohol, for example if you got
help
for a student who was super drunk and in danger of alcohol poisoning,
other underage and drunk students would not get in trouble if they
called for help and someone from the U came in and saw alcohol policy
violations.

Subject: Amnesty Policies and bystander programs

Hello everyone-

As our campus prevention programs begin to strongly encourage the
practice of being a prosocial bystander, our campus Alliance for
Sexual
Assault Prevention group has been struggling with how to really be
able
to do this without an amnesty policy on campus.  We are starting to
look
at what other campuses are doing and I am wondering if any of you have
rewritten your policies on campus to include this and/or what kinds of
policies (if any) do you have to encourage active bystander behavior
with amnesty if necessary?

Thank you-

Juliette
