Under the scheme, parents or guardians of COMTEQ students shall, upon enrollment, subscribe to the Drug Free Campus Program by signing a Waiver and Consent that stipulates that any student, at any given time during his stay, may be asked by the school to submit himself to drug testing at his own expense.
The student will also sign the waiver to signify his conformity with the school policy, as a precondition to his enrollment.
COMTEQ Assistant Registrar, Dennise Debatian said the scheme is primarily designed to discourage drug users from enrolling at COMTEQ.
“Like computer viruses, the use of prohibited drugs is a contagion in many campuses among peer groups,” Debatian explained. “And it is best to discourage drug users from enrolling at COMTEQ if only to prevent them from infecting other students whose primary objective in enrolling at COMTEQ is to study,” he added.
Students who fail the test and those who would not submit themselves to drug testing, despite due notice, shall be considered dropped from school.
Drug testing shall be administered by school physician, Dra. Babylyn Sagum-Enad.
In a meeting with the school administration, CSC officials volunteered to support the project by reporting any student found using any prohibited drug like marijuana and shabu.
For its part, the school administration vowed to keep the identities of the students, both the user and the whistleblower, confidential.
