Personal marijuana possession and use may be legal in Massachusetts, but remain off limits at Northern Essex Community College.
Last month, college trustees unanimously approved a policy prohibiting marijuana and accessories on college property or at college-sponsored events and activities. Despite changes in Massachusetts law, approved by voters last fall, Northern Essex abides by federal law which continues to ban the substance.
"Since Northern Essex is the recipient of federal funding, the college is required to follow federal law which prohibits the possession, use, distribution and/or cultivation of marijuana at educational institutions," the college said in a statement.
Violations by any student or employee will result in disciplinary action, including expulsion or termination.
