Dr. Bell moved to approve the Good Samaritan Policy re: Medical Amnesty at Tennessee Tech, and Dr. Ballal seconded. Mr. Boucher explained that the intent of the policy is to save the life of students at the University. He stated that if a student reported that another student was in need of medical attention, the policy would prohibit University disciplinary action of the reporting student in the occurrence of illegal substances or actions being involved in the situation. The proposed policy outlines other regulations the student(s) must complete if such an incident occurs. Mr. Boucher noted that TBR Legal Counsel reviewed the proposed policy and made only editorial changes. If approved at the University level, it is at the discretion of the TBR to determine if the policy must be approved by the TBR in the disciplinary rules/regulations hearings. Motion by Dr. Ojo and seconded by Dr. Matson to table the motion until the 2007-08 meetings of the Administrative Council. A vote by show of hands determined the failure of this motion to table the original motion. Dr. Green moved to amend the original motion to refer the proposal to the University Assembly.
