Students, faculty and staff who violate policies are subject to disciplinary proceedings.
Do Kent State University policies prohibiting marijuana use apply to faculty, staff, students, and visitors to campus?
Yes. Kent State University policies and federal law prohibit anyone from using, possessing or distributing marijuana on KSU property or at any KSU events, including off-campus travel and events. As a recipient of federal funding, KSU is required to take measures to prevent the illicit use of drugs and abuse of alcohol on campus. Faculty, staff, students and visitors must abide by KSU’s Drug-Free Workplace policy.
Will marijuana use be permitted on Kent State University campuses now that Issue 2 has been passed?
No. The use of recreational or medicinal marijuana in any form, including edibles and extracts, will remain prohibited by university policy and federal law. KSU policies will not change as a result of Issue 2.
